While getting ready to carry out this month's survey at Hemblington All Saints, I glanced at the pager to discover that the recently present Red-footed Falcon was performing in front of Reception Hide at the Fen: i calculated I had just enough time, so grabbed my camera and headed south!
As I arrived (around 8.45) I was just in time to see the bird leave the area and head south towards Fen Hide: I followed it! On entering the hide I was pleased to find only a couple of people already seated: one of these was warden Ben who kindly pointed out the target bird at the top of a willow tree. For half an hour I enjoyed acceptable (if distant) views as the Red-foot was pushed from bush to bush by the resident Hobbies!
