It looks as if these Hobby’s are sheltering under this trees hat.

Brilliant shots again Tony! Whereabouts are the trees that the Hobbies were perched in? Are they in the woodland gardens? Or out in the open?

Thanks, Jack

They are but if you stand where I originally told you to stand you should see them well. If it is sunny tomorrow morning the light in that corner is really good, possibly to good on occasions. Stand aprox 100 metres from east of the Cottage mid-way between the woodland and a small copse of trees. I would join you but I am off for the next 2 days.
