This Buzzard seems to have taken a liking to hunting from the Meadow Post. In 20 minutes this bird makes 2 visits each about 3 minutes long.


Ref: D01_20231026_1735_027+028+1737_031_FB6 Buzzard makes 2 off 3 minute visits to Meadow Post 1-3 of 6 (montage).jpg


Ref: D01_20231026_1752_033+1755_039_FB6 Buzzard makes 2 off 3 minute visits to Meadow Post 4+6 of 6 (montage).jpg

One of the female Kestrels made a landing on the Meadow Post, but didn't stay.


Ref: D01_20231029_0807_069+070_FB6 Kestrel female lands on Meadow Post in rain (montage over 400mS).jpg

One of the eternal problem with optical instruments and photographs is judging the size of subjects without accompanying references. Here is the stark contrast of size between a Buzzard and a female Kestrel that surprised even us.
