| Résumé : | Recent atlas data, at both national and local level, show that the breeding distribution of the Hobby Falco subbuteo in Britain has expanded markedly. Dedicated survey work in parts of central and southern England shows that Hobbies may breed at higher densities than recorded hitherto. This paper summarises the evidence from atlas work and targeted survey work on the Hobby, which is used to suggest the parameters of a new population estimate for Britain of at least 3,000 pairs. |
