This evening proved to be perfect as the may bugs were out in force. With such a huge force against them, it is hard to believe that any survive to reproduce, but clearly they are very successful.
I was able to identify three distinct individual hobbies, though as they fly back and forth over the wood, it is difficult to be certain that there aren't more,
Their rapid wing beats followed by a glide, contrast sharply with the languid gliding and slow wing beats of the gulls. Magpies joined with the other crows, chasing their prey along the ground.
This would be a great filming opportunity for the Spring Watch team.
