Ah, Amur amour.
My heart belongs to the Hobby H2....
Just come back from an extremely enjoyable 3 hour session with the loves of my life...:cat:
After drawing a blank for the first hour or so what we at first took for a Hobby came in and perched up..."Eh"...?
Since when do Hobbies have barred underparts...?...twas of course a Peregrine...! :smoke:
A female Hobby flew close-by 10 minutes later and we presumed that either it hadn't seen the grin or wasn't bothered....
However, after another 10 minutes all hell broke loose with the pair of Hobbies chasing the Peregrine off with a mesmerizing ferocity...but strangely not accompanied by any alarm calls...in fact quite silent.
More views followed of our birds hawking and chasing hirundines and soaring high into the blue and so ended a very fine morning indeed...
I'm a happy man...:cat:
More to come i hope...
All the best...!
