Fab pictures. Husband and I saw it in the park in Penarth after I’d spoken to you about it.

Thanks! Several people passing through spoke to me about it. It may become a local celebrity - although I hope the attention is positive. Certainly the gulls, crow and magpies are not too happy about it. Or the worms! 🙂

Richard did get a picture of it, but not as good as yours.

What a great bird to have local to you, great shots Andrew.

Thanks! The park is about 300 yards from my house, so when the weather's a bit iffy, I nip there rather than a full day in Cosmeston - a bus ride away. The buzzard is becoming a regular, but I suspect a lot of the smaller birds are spooked.

I have a place locally where I can see them but they are usually flying too high to get decent shots of them.
