2 Aug - Hobby watching
Posted 03-08-2008 at 03:14 PM by Rob_D
Very pleased to have come across a Hobby's nest (or Hobbie's nest?) when out for a walk in North Herts, not so far from where I live. One adult gave the game away by being very vocal and agitated when I walked innocently down a footpath.
Went back two days and watched from a safe distance for ages - nothing. Then after 2 hours the male returned and perched for 1 hour. He was disturbed by some joggers, but just moved 50 yards or so and perched again. After over 4 hours no sign of the female and no sign of any feeding. Maybe the nest is around the corner? The RSPB Hobbies seem to feed every 30 minutes or so. I'll have to go back and have another go.
