This video from the Netherlands says about itself:
22 May 2015
Hobby falcons hunting for large insects, picking them out of the sky with their talons and eating them flying in slow-motion.
Falco subbuteo.
Arthur Staal from the Netherlands writes on his blog about hobbies nesting in Leiden city.
There is at least one youngster on the nest, as a photo shows.
Hobbies are rare as breeding birds in the Netherlands. In Leiden, they used to nest in poplar trees along a road. After these trees were cut down, local authorities provided a new nest in another tree, near Naturalis museum. Fortunately, that worked.
