Falcon's feature

A few more waders at Collingham tonight; Ferry Lane Lake held 5 Greenshank and 3 Green Sands (and John Ellis also had a Common Sand just before I arrived), as well as 3 LRPs and a Ringed Plover. There was a Curlew on the Silt Lagoon (again), whilst a Greenshank flew in from the Trent whilst I was at Mons Pool. However, it was a couple of falcons that made the evening; first a Peregrine sat surveying the activity at Mons Pool before flying north and stooping at a Wood Pigeon unsuccessfully a couple of times. I then enjoyed great views of a Hobby barely a few metres above me just before I got back into my car.
