Garden Watch:
An hour or so garden sky watch this afternoon.
Birds:
2 separate sightings of Buzzards, both mega distant SSE high, way over beyond Norland Moor. One mobbed by 2 Crows.
I tried for some photos, guessing their position, (because of the glare) got something!
Later, a 3rd Buzzard was over Oats Royd mobbed by Crows, seen from the lounge window.
3 Goldfinch, in the trees opposite, were joined for a short time by 11 Fieldfare and a Mistle Thrush landed in the same trees later on.
