Here’s a few hobbies: birdwatching, photography and beautiful falcons.
Having taken the plunge on a new camera and lens, I took it out on a walk on Friday to see what it could do. It can definitely focus! The Hobby was a very brief appearance.
On Saturday we went on a twitch (something of a novelty for us this year) to Kent, to see the Eleonora’s Falcon that has taken up residence. It was something of a challenge: a fast-moving falcon, among the local Hobbies, and it was also elusive. A detour to South Foreland to try and see the Sardinian Warbler was wasted time (no two-lifer day for us), but a return to Worth gave us nice views of it perched in its evening roost.
(The pictures are better than this: my gallery plugin seems to be making a mess of resizing them.)
