Buzzard encounter

    An update, the buzzard has spent so much time in our garden over the last four days that the cat and dogs are no longer passing any remarks on it.

    The cat spends her day sprawled out on the garden table or bounding round the garden pretend hunting. Either way the buzzard doesn't go for her and if the buzzard was looking on her as prey she would be long gone.

    I think therefore we can conclude that the buzzard is not looking on her as prey but is probably keeping an eye on her as a potential predator or threat to the young buzzards.

    Sorry I asked!!!! :rolleyes:

    Back on topic - Buzzard perched in the garden today and didn't even take any of the many young rabbits destroying my newly planted shrubs! Oh well, that's Nature for you.

    The paint stripper looked like vodka but then I'm pretty sure the duck told me to drink him and I'd get 3 wishes
