you did real well to see all of those Stevie on your fishing trip
We had a rare bird down this way recently. One of the watchers was filming it when all of a sudden a buzzard swoops down and takes him of for dinner, or perhaps I should rephrase that, he takes him off as dinner
I know I shouldn't laugh but it just struck me funny
poor bird though
Pic's and write up here:-

Aye ,i saw that on the news ,...Buzzards usually sit on fence posts waiting on road kills,thats when they're not being chased by crows
I have seen them taking live rabbits though
Same with the Red Kites thats been reintroduced up here and in Wales ,mostly carrion they eat ,really nice to see , there's a breeding area/feeding station just next to the Loch we fish

Well spotted Stevie
Those Red Kites are some fine looking birds
Cheers for the link

That was a year ago. Mind you, I'm just back from walking the dog out in the darkness next to the woods, so I'm glad I read this after I got back and not before I left
