Beobachtungsdetails
Very unexpected! Flew in very fast from behind me while I was standing near the pond, coming from the direction of the golf course, scattering a group of HOFI. Made an unsuccessful chase at one individual. Immediately noticed long tail, pointed wings, and very shallow snappy wingbeats. Alighted at the top of a dead branch on the large tree overlooking the pond, where I snapped a quick photo through my binocular. Noticed more or less vertical streaking on breast, faint mustache pattern, light throat, dark blue-grey back, and tail with light barring underneath. Departed back towards the edge of the golf course, and when it flew away noted checkerboard pattern underneath. Will attach picture.
