We have several buzzards which wheel around over the field for ages at a time - and you're right - being chased ever upwards by the resident crows and seagulls. I love hearing them call though - such a plaintive sound on a warm summer's day.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11092165570961500364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-73348341405256596672011-11-14T16:34:00.246+00:002011-11-14T16:34:00.246+00:00I'm no bird expert, but the picture looks more...I'm no bird expert, but the picture looks more like a hawk than a buzzard to me, too.
