Hobby food

Arfon beat me to seeing the first Hobby on the bog but interestingly enough on Friday morning early(still no gropper at Sluice gate) I found the wings only of a 4 spot dragonfly still joined at the flight muscle, very fresh, on the boardwalk willow arch end.   Otters are known to pick them off the rush stems in the night and leave the wings but this had the look of a hobby kill about it and the otter spraints are usually big pond side.
Spotted flycatchers have arrived at Coed Y Bont and here at home.
Is it me or are the bluebells absolutely fantastic this year?
