Hi Olly,
It sounds like it'll be a perch (or at least an area) that will be used regularly during times when the prey there will be active. If it's flying insects, it should be there more often on warm still days and evenings.
Big
caveat:- you may be close to a potential nestsite! Best if you seek the advice of a local raptor expert/BTO ringer/county bird recorder before setting up a hide. Hobby's are a Schedule 1 species and are specially protected in law and require a licence to photograph near the nest; they're also very susceptible to human disturbance during the early breeding season.
Good luck, they're a great little bird to watch!
