Today the local Buzzards staged a spectacular over my own Raptor Watch Point. (ie my back garden!) First 15 circling & drifting west. Then a singleton & then nine more.
Meanwhile four young Kestrels fought for aerial supremacy with the local Jackdaws & Rooks around the church roof & steeple.
A Sparrowhawk flew by. (Are you keeping score?)
A Hobby, high up & fairly distant went west, circled as, from west to east, two more Hobbies came by it underneath, turned and stooped at 45 degrees accelerating as they disappeared beyond my horizon.
The first Hobby continued to drift away.
12 Buzzards drifted back eastwards, as high as the bottom edge of the low cloud, occassionally flying into the murk & back out again.
Another Sparrowhawk flew by.
A Jay, in the nearest tree, called a perfect imitation of a Buzzard; then a cat's miaow; then flew away!
Ah, what a pity I had to go to work...
