The last Hobby?

Great evening at Ham Wall VP2.

A Hobby entertained us, flying low over our heads.

Hi James,

Some excellent shots of a juvenile Hobby in flight on your website. Well done! If, as your Blog suggests, the photo of the perched individual was taken at the same time then there were clearly two Hobbies present at Ham Wall that afternoon because the latter is an adult.

Best regards,

Nick

Hi Nick

Thanks for the info. They were taken on the same evening. A great sight!

Sadly I can't claim that the photos were taken by me personally but by my compatriot Andrew. Still I do have a new camera. Just waiting for the lens now. Hopefully I can get some shots of birds of prey (and other birds of course). :-)
