I stepped outside the backdoor at 4:02 pm to the sound of one the resident Carrion Crows give out a loud croak, I looked up and a Hobby shot over the estate like an Exocet missile. Talk about the right place at the right time. It was heading north and will presumably end up at the Cotswold Water Park.
That's two cracking birds in the space of a few days from just outside the backdoor, what with the Osprey I had last week. I wonder what will be next!
A bit of catch up as well. Yesterday I had my first, second and third Yellow Wagtails of the year close to Sherston.
