Hobbies at Oswestry

Working near Oswestry today and a rather dull morning was enlivened by a family party of hobbies which flew right overhead, no more than perhaps 15m above me. They were playing and calling, twisting around in the sky chasing each other. They didn't just go over, they stayed with me for three or four minutes circling around and giving me one of my greatest ever hobby experiences before disappearing over a nearby woodland. I didn't have my camera with me which was initially disappointing but perhaps it was just as well, because I could fully concentrate on the unfolding experience without watching it through a view finder and worrying about the next photo.
