Driving from our home over to Wharfedale and then up the Washburn Valley we racked up 9 Red Kits, but no Buzzards. Parked up for a drink and a bite high above the valley, and I wandered off - and immediately picked up one Buzzard just above the horizon, being mobbed by a Carrion crow. I called my nephew over, and by the time he reached me another Buzzard appeared, and they made a series of 'pretend' food passes, before drifting of behind some conifer woods.That was my nephew's second lifer of the week - Great Crested grebe was the first.</blockquote>
