A fewmore images from my recent brief but special encounter with a Hobby down at Dunge. A remarkable encounter with the bird sitting on a shed whilst we pulled up along side in the car enjoying it for a few moments.<\/p>\n

The Hobby summers in the UK with c2800 breeding pairs. It is an amazing bird to watch as it hawks for dragonflies etc over lakes and rivers.<\/p>\n

The scientific name Falco Subbuteo derives from the Latin word for Sickle (falcis) which refers to the birds talons and Subbuteo again from the latin words sub<\/u> meaning near to and buteo<\/u> meaning Buzzard.<\/p>\n

The word Subbuteo being better known as the table football game taken from the name of the Hobby for the hobby if that makes sense.<\/p>\n
