Hobby Hunting

When I first saw the picture thought what a shame . Too dark. Was about to delete when I noticed just to the left of the talons the dragon fly .Changed my mind and decided that it was worth keeping .

The Highlight of The Last Week

This Hobby had been seen hawking around the triangle for about two days and we had had fleeting glimpses of it . Then to our delight it settled on one of the posts close to where we were.The rest is history .

We had been watching at a fair distance for about two days as this bird returned regularly to the same patch of vegetation and then we arrived in the afternoon to find it had come close to the hide .No time was wasted .
