Buzzard (Buteo Buteo)

This buzzard comes for breakfast in my garden, in Baglan, every morning. She now calls out when she is flying round the house waiting for me to put the food out! Also a Jay who visits every day with its mate

I say she because you do in the info box! Females are a bit bigger than males but I don't think there's any difference in their markings.

I'm envious - buzzards are one of my favourites and I'd love to have one visiting like this.

lol so I do... I know I'm so lucky to see this every day, plus all the other birds and wildlife that vsit, I'm keeping a large area rough and wild for them rather than having all the garden lawned

I love her delicate little walk with wings up. What do you feed her?

[raqsbanat]

That morning she had raw chicken scraps, skin and fat etc. I tend to put out raw pork or beef cut offs. whatever's spare. She once flew off with a cooked leg of lamb after we'd taken what we wanted for dinner!!

Why do you say "she"...can you tell as I'd love to know?
