Thanks Peter, I was on full zoom and couldn't get any closer but I was extremely happy just to get the photos.

Excellent Peter, the Hobby was in the same place this morning, this time it was facing me and flew off towards Big Woods. A Raven was heard calling and appeared low over the tree tops doing a quick u-turn when it saw me. A Green Sandpiper and 2 Grey Wagtails were on the Yarrow yesterday.

The hobby was heard calling briefly this morning but I couldn't locate it. A chiff chaff was heard singing and a raven was seen heading eastward, at least 6 jays seen, the only geese seen were 3 Canada's.
