Hobby , UK, South London, 6th August 2020

This young Hobby quite literally fell out of the nest and tumbled down to the ground below, as its parents came in to feed it high up in the Scots Pine they are nesting in. Thankfully after an hour of shielding it from two Magpies and numerous dogs, it came to its senses and flew into a nearby tree.

Martin Birch Amateur photographer United Kingdom http://www.surfbirds.com/community-blogs/bromleybirder/ I've been birding since a kid, first in Hampshire, then in the Bristol area before finally settling for the last two decades in the south-east. Well Bromley to be exact, which let's face it is not great for birding unless you like parakeets.
