The Stork and the Buzzard

Walking Elvis and as I came out of the woods, I saw 4 buzzards, a heron, a kestrel and a stork in the field.  By the time I had readied my camera, all but one of the buzzards and the stork were in view.  This is the best snap I could get. The storks all nest in pylons on the road between us and the oyster-beds.  They use the shallow water as a training ground for their young.  This one was on its own, so either lost or a young one still working out where to go later (they head south).  The buzzards have been there a few days now and I suspect they are a breeding pair with two young learning to hunt.  The heron (extra pic) was unfazed by the commotion.  The kestrel (missed that pic) was more interested in the rodents in the barley field next door.
