The Buzzard took me by surprise late afternoon as I walked out into the car park and there it was high up but soaring. A panic attack then into the office for the camera and back out to find it gone. A dash round the corner of the garage to see it heading away over the mill at speed but luckily it decided to do a soar round the mill chimney giving me just time to get a quick but distant record shot between the house chimney stacks with the bridge camera.
This is the distance away

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
