Beautiful Birds: Hobby on the Wing (Minsmere again!)



While we were watching the Bittern at the weekend, a Hobby flew right up to the hide, taking us all by surprise. There were a number of dragonflies zooming about, which was probably the reason!
 


Much to my surprise, the Hobby has been awarded Green conservation status. I say surprise because this is a bird that I have only recently started to see ...


You will find some far better photos of a Hobby at Minsmere here ...

    Congrats on both sightings, Bittern are usually hard to spot. The Hobby is a new bird for me, I am glad their numbers are increasing?

    I've not seen one for years. Love the ones on the Minsmere site too!
