A Hobby, more than just an idle pastime
A Hobby hawking for insects over Lakenheath RSPB reserve, one of the top sites for this species in the UK. We enjoyed wonderful views of at least two birds feeding over the river, often at eye level in wonderful sunshine. The birds showed off their aerial expertise by catching insects and feeding on the wing, transferring their prey from talons to bill as we marvelled at their dexterity! Hope you enjoy this picture taken by Dewi Edwards on our Norfolk birding weekend 18-20 June. For more details of our birding weekend, scroll back to our earlier blog.
