Humming bird moth

I can only discribe this strange moth as a humming bird, it acted exactly like one, only was clearly an insect. The only reference I can find for this strange creature is a hummingbird clear wing moth,(I watched a vid on youtube and it was that), and only seen in the States and Canada. Am I going crazy or can someone please help clear up this mystery?? Did I see this or something very similar?

Saw at least four Silver Ys last night in the garden feeding on rockery flowers (sorry don't know what kind they are). Also a possible Peppered Moth was flying around but didn't get a good enough sight of it so will leave as unidentified.
