I decided to re-visit Fowlmere RSPB on 11th June to see if I could manage photos of the Hobbies that apparently frequently visit. If that is the case, then someone forgot to tell them - a distant appearance for a few seconds!!!

This was an afternoon of waiting patiently for something to happen. The male Marsh Harrier put in a distant appearance and then flew off to hunt - no photos worth keeping there!!!

Later in the afternoon, a Goldfinch put in an appearance on a middle-distance bush - worth a shot

as did a Yellowhammer on the same bush- is it my imagination or are they getting quite scarce now.

And then the male Marsh Harrier returned after a successful hunt, calling up the female and, although distant and flying away, they completed a food pass.

with the male making a closer flypast with a stare that would make intended prey rather nervous.

And that was the sum total of the afternoons events.
