First time out for a while and just a wander looking for Hobby's. If anybody knows of a location where there are Hobby's still hunting dragonflies and willing to share I would be grateful PM is fine. Willing to travel a fair distance the last trip was 130 mile each way with only a glimpse but got a few other birds so worth the trouble. Saw one briefly yesterday but will be back for more now I know where. Had more luck with this pigeon who was busy building a nest and kept passing.

Juvenile moorhen, isn't it?
Saw this yesterday, I was trying to work out what it was, as there was no obvious parent near by. Wrong colour for a Moorhen, possibly a young Coot? I did wonder if it was a young Dabchick also....

Taken at Barnes WWT.
I've been told by private message that its a young House Martin. Sand Martins don't have feathers on their legs.The hirundines are starting to gather and what better place than on the slates of my house, I bet the slates are warm.
Sand Martins in good numbers to-day.
