Dry Spell

 The last few visits to the ranges has produced very little bird wise. The recent dry spell has not helped what with water levels being low. But for my effort one of the summer visiting Hobby's was busy hunting. And although the heat haze wasn't going to help. One just couldn't resist snapping a few shots of the Cattle Egrets that are still present and feeding amongst the herd. And with just seven Green Sandpipers and four Redshank seen it has been quiet on my patch.

My Hobby !!!

Due to the fantastic weather i decided to have a stroll with the family round Chigborough lakes Maldon in the afternoon. What magic it was to watch 3 Hobbys playing in the thermals, soaring high into a clear blue sky. catching the odd dragonfly and eating them on the wing.
