Late this afternoon Mike Hayward and I watched as a hobby dive-bombed and hit a passing peregrine over our property at Plas Treflyn;the pere flew away strongly but the difference in size was clear as was the intent! Same happened last year but no evidence of breeding so far.
If you want to see the hobbies(4) then get down to the Cors Caron bog boardwalk soon as they will be joining the outflow shortly.
2 swifts yesterday. Also our first and only small tortoisehell on the buddleia. A purple hairstreak wing found on the lawn ..well short grass..may have been the work of our resident spotted flys still on the nest.
