Nesting Buzzard Update.
Sunrise: 06.42 Sunset: 05.58
I took my 150 – 500 mm lens with me to Dark Wood today, and managed to get an image of the nest I have watched the buzzards repairing. https://thewildenmarshblog.com/2015/02/28/buzzards-building-a-nest//
The nest is deep within the wood, and I am only able to see it from one point on the ridge path. I would not have found the nest if I hadn’t seen the buzzards dropping twigs on it. In fact, I lost sight of it for a few days, before eventually finding it again. I have now taken the precaution of pegging the point on the path from where it is visible. When at the peg, I search for the tree with a woodpecker hole high up in its trunk, and look horizontally to the left until I find the pile of twigs. The nest is only just visible to the naked eye.
Ohh… meet the Buzzard Whisperer! Mike, your new calling. Great job paying attentions to the subtle signals of nature. What a treat it will be following this story.

Not a new calling, Jane. I have been whispering to buzzards for many years. I also talk to large stones. 😉
Great eye for detail. I didn’t know that buzzards live in England.
We have a great many buzzards living over here, Raewyn.
I am learning something new everyday. That is why I love your blog
I glad I have a positive effect on you, Raewyn.
