Following a tip-off I was able to identify a pair of hobbies with fledged young east of Aberystwyth yesterday afternoon.
Interestingly, none of the photos seem to show an adult, although all the evidence suggested there had been a successful nesting attempt. There were about four birds present, they were every noisy and they chased pair of buzzards away.
I had heard that a pair had nested "near Llanilar "a few years ago, and these weren't that far away.
