29 May - excellent views of the 1st-summer male Red-footed Falcon at Wilstone reservoir, just over an hour's drive away - feeding low over the reedbed in the cloudy conditions. Smaller and more slender than the accompanying Hobbies, with more slate-grey upperparts, barred underwings, red bill and legs and eye-ring. Photo, copyright Dave Bilcock.
