great stuff - especially the sparrowhawk + buzzard!

Sprogger, the sudden appearance of clouds of buzzards is quite special. There are a few spots where I just have to wait a few minutes and several appear.

Robin, the kite really made the day.

Erwin, thanks!

Adele, a peregrine would have wrapped it up nicely whistle

Neil, I'm almost tripping over buzzards at the moment. Easier to find than kestrels, which is saying something.

Darko, I wonder how they will cope chef

A very profitable day for photos. The underside of the buzzard is so beautiful!

Lois, thanks. The buzzards are easily the most spectacular of the local raptors. They tend to fly in pairs, sometimes in larger groups.
