Wow, that Hobby is gorgeous, I've only ever seen two, and both were quite distant (one did have a mid-air snack tho!!) Lovely iridescence on the ducks too... I had to look Call Duck up, not heard ofit, and all the pics were pale, so are the green ones the same?

Thanks for sharing another belter of a set, Snappy :o)

Thanks PB. I only saw the hobby because it had wound a load of swallows up and they weren't happy , they were making a load of noise. I have seen one on three visits here this year, none previously though.

Yes, I believe they are all call ducks. A t least that was what the label said on the enclosure....

Unless it meant for you to call the ducks, and they'd come and perform for you...a bit of juggling maybe 

Ah, that could be it 

Hobby

Thanks Linda 

I shall return and look at the rest of the pics but eyes on the Hobby for now  

Some great shots there Snappy. I love to see blue butterflies, unfortunately I don't see many. The Hobby and the Dragons are excellent too ...

Fabulous photos Snappy and a wonderful excellent selection
