I saw this bird fly over when i was hiking in Tai Mo Shan.
There were total two individual and look similar.
They flew so fast and head to south. Is it possible for a pair of hobby?
Thanks very much

Hi Ivan

I think you are correct and these are Eurasian Hobbies.Structure is correct for hobby and on both birds I believe that buff undertail is apparent; also heavy black streaking on breast and dark underwing coverts are all good hobby features. However they are not adults so perhaps not strictly a 'pair'.
