    Been driving past the same field today, its a newly sown wheat or barley crop, and a buzzard is spending a lot of time standing in the same general area and iv seen its mate on ground not too far away. Normal behaviour or something is up??

    Absolutely typical behaviour. Feeding on frogs, worms etc while the ground is cleared and soft.

    I've seen a lot of buzzards in the celbridge, lucan area lately. It's great. There's one that sits on the street lamp on the celbridge interchange now and again.

    Buzzards actually spend a lot of time on the ground looking for worms etc. Iv seen them following ploughs much like gulls do also.
