Heres the Buzzard imitating Jay that came in to feed on the free peanuts this evening just before dusk. Can you see how the crop of the bird is full of peanuts, I have counted as many as 20. I also had a visit from the Buzzard, the same one that I had photographed the other day but it was very wary this evening and as soon as it heard the shutter on the camera it left immediately. This is obviously not ideal and after waiting for sometimes 2 or 3 hours the last thing that you want to do is disturb the bird. The photo was taken with a high ISO hence the grainy nature of the image.
Again, one of the Magpies came to feed on the carcass which was interesting to watch just like yesterday. It suddenly departed in the opposite direction from which it had arrived which I thought was a bit odd and then the Buzzard suddenly arrived so I guess that with a bird of prey around the magpie beat a hasty retreat.
