Views of the open sky above me today as I spent many hours roaming around Thursley Common, one of the finest remaining heathlands in Southern England.
......and high above me a Hobby was feeding on the wing drifting from blue into white.

So Frank, you must explain to me what a heathland is, for I have heard of the word for many ages past, but not certain what it means from your vantage point. I must say, whatever it means, it cetainly is quite lovely. enjoy~
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Montana is known as "Big Sky Country". Good shots!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Thursley Common will continue to be a beautiful heartland till the end of time. We need to save these habitats for the wildlife to live in... we all need a home.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Frank.
Mary. Brief explanation sent direct by e-mail. Hope it all makes sense.
ReplyDeleteMona. I don't think we can compete with 'big' Montana.
Pam. Fortunately it is in good hands providing someone doesn't st light to it again!
Bird Girl. Hobby is a falcon (Falco subbuteo) that catches insects on the wing.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the local variation... Red Tail hawks. Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteKramer. The Hobby is a very small falcon, (similar in size to American Kestrel) so much smallet than RTH.
