  4. superb photo's today Frank. Are you sure that was a sparrowhwak with the buzzard, it looks very pointy winged, also it looks like it has jesses hanging from its legs ???

  7. Lois. Thanks.

    sebi_2569. Thanks for dropping by. Appreciate your visit and comments.

    Keith. Cheers, better than doing the chores!

    Chris. There were also lots of other smaller beasties around!!

    Thanks Bob.

    Warren. Well, I thought I watched it 'flap, flap, glide' but I agree the wings do look like Kestrel. The 'jesses' are actually the legs of it's recent kill that the Buzzard fancied.

    Matt. Cheers, they are in a class of their own.

    Jenny. I hope the answer fits the picture.
