Buzzard Battle

Not the best shot of the day, but it's not every day that you get not one, not two, but three Buzzards indulging in a bit of argy-bargy over your back garden. Of course they were terribly unsporting and conducted these fights (grabbing talon-to-talon and tumbling down the sky a bit) at a ridiculous height, and against the only cloud in the sky, so decent shots were not to be had. And only one broke off and came close enough for a good look (I'm convinced, given we had four chickens and a cat out in the garden at the time that his circling over us was no coincidence).

Actually, the day had started bird-well, after I spotted the Figgy Park Little Grebes building their nest. Expect more pics in the future, such as when they look coquettish or catch a fish before battering it into submission...

Oh, there were some baby bunnies taking their early trips outside as well...

And I see that Blipfoto got namechecked in the Scotland on Sunday today, in a sort of 'jokey' Blippers are really annoying, kinda way. I have a feeling, with the namecheck, that it might be someone involved in the site, but it was an odd disjointed piece just basically listing people who annoyed the chap in a fairly predictable manner (it appears to be a regular slot). I'm not thinking too much about the fact that when I was in my Blip-Rant pomp about a year back (which I've been considering returning to) I suggested such a regular item to this very newspaper. Ah well.

New job start tomorrow. Almost an after-thought that.
