OMG!!! awesome captures... the Hobby - what a glorious bird she is. How lucky you are to have seen one let alone capture it in full predator mode. Nice one (y)
 
Nice shots (y)

I must go there sometime. I don't think we ever got round to it when we were in Norfolk, although it was on the "list"!
 
Thanks Ven, John & Ewan, It was amazing to watch the Hobby catch, Pluck and eat Dragonflies in flight.

If any of you peeps fancy a trip to Strumpshaw Fen i'd be more than happy to guide you around.

That is a very kind offer Mitch ... :clap:


The one thing I would dearly love to see at SF and have so far failed miserably when I have been in the past ... is a Swallow-Tail Flutterby ... :love:

Too late in the year for them now of course ... :cautious: ... maybe next year ... :shrug:




:p
 
Thanks AJ

Ven, the Warden said it had been a really bad year for the Swallowtails which does not bode well for next year.:shrug:
 
:LOL: ... think he says that every year Mitch ... :cautious:



I don't believe they have them really ... :D ... it's just a ploy to get more visitors ... :shrug:





:p
