| Comments : | I had a likely Hobby chasing insects among swifts in Redford Park this evening. Was heading away towards Bray Head, unfortunately light starting to fade so couldn't follow. Very small falcon acting like large swift, only other possibility Merlin but was not really behaving like one. |
