We recognised it immediately as a Hawk Moth due to the tail and thanks to a discussion with my brothers I now know this to be a Lime Hawk Moth and I provided it with Lime leaves along with some Willow and by this morning it had munched a large section of the Lime.
Lime Hawk Moths are apparently easy to distinguish due to the yellow ummm backside, or vent, and is the only Hawk Moth caterpillar that has this.
