Just a Hobby

Back in the saddle after another weekend away in Hampshire (during which a trip of Dotterel turned up in the area, which I might still be able to get to). The wind now firmly in the NE I set off via the brick pits hoping to pick up a tern or Little Gull.

Climbing up Greenhill from Elton I caught sight of a Hobby belting towards the village from Keeper's Cottage. The rest of the trip into work was also good with Little Owl sitting out at Haddon village, Marsh Harrier at an undisclosed location, a Wheatear on the cleared land between Hampton and Jones' Covert, a Cuckoo near there and Grey Wagtails at the Town Bridge.
