Where to spot
Breeds across Europe and Asia, migrating to sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South Asia for winter. Prefers open woodlands, heathland, marshy areas, and cultivated land with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for its very fast, elegant flight, often at dusk or dawn as it hunts insects. Observe its distinctive silhouette with very long, pointed wings. Listen for its sharp 'kew-kew-kew' call.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) when it is actively hunting and displaying. Also seen during spring and autumn migration.

The Eurasian Hobby is a master of aerial hunting, catching large insects like dragonflies and even small birds in mid-flight with remarkable dexterity, often eating insects on the wing.
