Pausing for a breather....
A Hobby had been on form apparently during the morning. I decided to sit it out patiently - would it reappear? With 'splash!!' it did, presumably misjudging a Brown Hawker and getting a little wet!
It was then action all the way! Banking flight near enough on one occasion for close cropping!
The upperwing angle and my favourite 'attitude' with tail fanned :-)
Of course, it was catching plenty of Hawker dragonflies....
And consuming them on the wing....
Amazing moments and none finer than this adult bird streaking head on towards you!
The last moment many a dragonfly was to see.......
The session was cut slightly short when I learnt there was a Stilt Sandpiper lurking at Neumann's Flash in Cheshire? Sorry Hobby, you will have to wait for another day!
