Re: Help with a Hobby

I know they use the same trees around the nest site too. When they visit my garden/area nearby they don't seem to use the same perch twice, or the same route......say unlike a sparrowhawk which will often use the same route to the bird table through dense spruce.

BTW, I was in the car park at Brecon mountain railway near mertyr tydfil last week and watched a hobby for around 5 minutes, It flew just above the road for around 100yds straight past me ( within 1m ), but then continued to course the mountain fields much to the annoyance of some crows.......I never saw the thing perch. A real unexpeted treat!
