it could do m8 theres lots of big fish dont know which type at bowling.

i did think today that the bird i saw was pretty large compared to most of the buzzards i see as they are regulars round here usually the crows torment them but today there was nothing bothering this bird as i said earlier it was light coloured underneath maybe the same bird

IT'S AN ALBEANO BUZZARD M8  ;D ;D ;D

[Guest spin cycle]

i think you're very lucky to see such a wonderful bird. i don't think it'll be after your pigeons and as a bonus it may give the other raptors something to think about. if a bop doesn't attack pigeons then surely it's a friend JMO

You WERE on the swally last night Red!!

[Guest bigbok]

your right about the ospreys been fish eaters and also will take carrion in hard times they do migrate to africa as a lot of raptors do the adults leave first end oct-nov and the young follow later on it is most likely a young bird with little or no territory and still not got the weght or brains to migrate it could even have had a bump in one of those shopping trollys and even be an escaped zoo or private collector

but still no harm done and an absolute joy to see a one

ps hope the red hen returns

[johno]

the singing ginger down that way must be powerful stuff.

[PATTY BHOY]

Alexandria in Dunbartonshire. My allotments right on the banks of the River Leven.. this year is the first id ever seen one.. now thats 4 times its been down.. but thats the lowest ive ever seen it tho..came right over the front of the loft..

 

I also work at Loch Lomond Golf Club and this season (im sure its the same one) has started hunting there as well..

 

I thought the nearest registered pair was Loch Sloy..?? Think theres only 17 or 18 registered pairs..
