Common Buzzard

I'm a bit jealous of the raptor sightings. Haven's seen a single one here yet.
But the rest of your birdies is great as well - quite a few that I would like to see but don't get here.
Maybe we should do home swapping for a while. Then you'll get to see the sea birds and I'll get to
see yours.

Thanks for all your work to show us your photos!

here is anothers... Red Kite EDIT : Black Kite

[Dewi]

Good one of the perched Buzzard Nan.

Love the kite flight pics. This one is a Black Kite though - the underparts are uniform warm russett, Red Kite would be paler and streaked.

You have a special little reserve there Nan. It seems to attract lots of species into the area.
