A juvenile Hobby was perched on the tall beaches on the north-west side of Foxton Woods. I waited for about half an hour but no adults were seen. The bird flew around several times but returned to the same spot. Presumably the offspring of the adults that have been seen flying around the village lately and quite possibly last year’s returning birds.
The Swifts haven’t left. At least one returned to the nest hole two or three times today, and three birds were seen above the garden.
