Hi,
        We would like to explore Callum Brae tomorrow morning, but not
having been here before would like some directions on an entry point and
some other info that would help our visit there. 
Is there an online map of the area?

Thanks heaps

Subject: Callum Brae Hobby

Hi all,
The Hobby nest across the road from Callum Brae is active again. I started 
getting suspicious after Julian Robinson and I saw a Hobby perched in Callum

Brae with prey in its tallons on separate occasions. This time I saw the 
male flying to the nest and feeding the prey to birds at the nest. I have 
attached a photo which shows two of the birds. I think the bird on the right

is an immature. While watching them I thought I could see and hear a chick 
in the nest being fed as well. Does anyone know if it is possible for a 
Hobby to have two generations at the nest at the same time?
Thanks,
Nick
PS: Later in the walk around Callum Brae I also saw a Hobby dive bombing a 
Brown Goshawk which was flying away rapidly.
PPS: I also found Aust Grebes in the fenced dam
