  • We have a buzzard

    No pictures yet but working on it.

    A buzzard seems to have adopted our flag pole/hf antenna mast as a perch. Not as big as the one one that perches on the utility pole at the end of the road, so maybe a young one.

    That’s fantastic Q
    We see at least 4-5 each time we drive to Flers (20 mins) If they are 10 a penny here then there is no reason why you shouldn’t get that many where you are!

    Afew years ago I saw one lying in the road so I stopped . Poor thing was utterly dazed- head spinning like it had just got off a merry go round.. I picked it up and enclosed it in a plastic shopping bag and released it a few 100 metres down the road - when I returned it had flown off!

    What was amazing was it’s weight : size ratio…
    Such a stunningly pretty bird.
    So glad I saved its life.

    Do let us know if yours returns Q.

          There are quite a few around here. There is a lot of moor and scrub, which hosts plenty of food. What we are short of is trees, so they sit on poles. They are lazy birds really. Sit on a pole, see a stoat, swoop, eat, and back on the pole.
