If that is three hobbies, as in an adult pair and
fledged young, that is exceptionally early in the year for this stage of the
breeding season, in early November. They are normally at that stage in
January and February. Yet the long-term situation may be changing, with birds
arriving and breeding early or maybe not migrating away at all. When you
say "one of them looked like an immature bird following an adult which was
carrying prey" did it look like an immature bird in
plumage stage or is that a conclusion based on behaviour, so that for example it
could be courtship feeding?
