In Durham terms a remarkable afternoon for Hobbies
1 - 3 birds on view pretty much constantly from noon till 4pm
one raptor enthusiast had 3 birds together from the comfort of the DBC hide ! - another of our dreams seemingly slowly becomming a reality !
Close views of birds coming in low repeatedly taking insects at Allans Pool
I watched one catch a large blue dragonfly, before it swing round eating its catch right in front of me.
Close by at Fishburn Lake, the excitement continued when a sub adult bird performed its aerobatics around the pool for an hour.
both these pool had very large nos of damselflys in todays warm conditions.
After a good crop of sightings over the years, especially so this year, will hopefully lead to this location being one where local birders can watch these superb flyers on a regular basis.
( There was another which was likely to have been a Hobby, at long range over the ridge at Garmondsway NZ3433 )
