| looks like a buzzard from the pic
we have literally dozens of buzzards & red kites in the sky on/off all day long down here (luckily they dont bother the birds) unlike the occasion destructive visits of the sparrowhawk & perigrine which do so much damage |

yeah this time of year and the early part of the season is the times when most people are hit because the birds arnt as fit and agile as they are mid season (especially if you keep them in for most of the winter and then when you start to let them out again....BANG!! |
