While returning from my afternoon dog walk I saw a pair of Buzzards. They were low and directly over me at one point. Their flight seemed so effortless as they faced the wind and let it lift them over a nearby cops. I was so chuffed as this was only half a mile from my home.

{ Not Joking Here !! }
For some reason the birds seem to have taken
exception to the seeds, fat balls & slabs I'm putting
out at the moment. I Had to remove the fat
balls from their feeder, crush them into seed-sized
pieces & put them on the ground feeding trays,
even then it's taken a few days for the Town Pigeon
Flock to clear them away.
So I think it's going to be 'Starvation Rations' For
a week, to remind 'em of what they are supposed
to be doing !!

That seems to be the case too here, near Hereford. I put out a fat ball, a feeder 3/4 full of seeds and a prepared 1/2 coconut shell and a seed try on the ground when we arrived on site 2 days ago. Within 30 mins there was a Great Tit investigating the feeder, and since then all we've seen are a couple of Great Tits & a Robin, and very little of the seeds have been eaten. Wonder where they've all gone, as we are close to the edge of a wood?
