5 Buzzards
There were five Buzzards over my house in Holmfield at 11:30 today.
Only seen one before and then five come together!
I have Chris to thank. We had been watching 6 high gulls (LBB). I had gone inside, Chris alerted me to another bird much lower - not a gull. I shot outside when she said there are two now. Having both watched them a while she called me out again "there are 4 now!" No sorry 5! It made our day, so I went for some wine... As you say probably a family party.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Wow that's a great record Bruce, sounds like a family group! Great stuff.

Imagine seeing something like that in Calderdale say 20 years ago, not everything is going wrong in the bird world thankfully.
