Buzzards


Adult in a tree near the Boardwalk, presumed to be roosting as it was almost dark, my excuse for a grainy image!


Terrible shot, nice bird


The classic shallow 'V' - a soaring Buzzard

What a difference a decade makes! Ten years ago, seeing a Buzzard in Leicestershire let alone Leicester was a rare sight. Now they're even on the Meadows on a regular basis and a few days ago I even scoped one circling over the Walkers stadium. Today I saw five in the air together and watched a pair displaying over the Southern section. I attempted, very badly to grab some shots through the scope but with poor light and wind they're all a bit, well crap really!
Still they're on the Meadows, Look Up!
