Hobby at Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB

October 21, 2012

What a surprise, my second attempt at photographing a Hobby. My first attempt ending in failure due to the fact I didn’t even see one.

However this time lady luck smiled on me. I spotted the Hobby feeding on Dragonflies and went to investigate.

 After and short time trying  to get into the right position the Hobby landed just feet away from me  and seemed happy to let me photograph it.

Later on in the day some light rain appeared putting an end to the Hobby, or so I thought.

Suddenly it appeared again but at a greater distance, but I still managed some shots.

The Hobby just sat on the fence in the light rain looking a bit sorry

The images were taken over three days with the first starting on the 17th
