Birding's a great Hobby.

Went to Hayle in search of the Ruddy Shelduck and Curlew Sandpiper but didn't see either one.
We made up for it at Land's End with the Wryneck (quite distant) and a Hobby demolishing a Dragonfly. In all we saw at least 3 different Hobbys (Hobbies ?).




John took most of these, but these 2 were my attempt at a flight shot!



Distant Wryneck. This Adder tried to cut us off at the pass.
