Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostI've not seen any birds of prey actually in the garden (we get loads of Corvids, Jays, T*ts etc) but at the lake at the back of our house we get flocks of buzzards at high altitude during the summer. Never seen one low or up close.

As for hummingbirds, we took photos of hummingbord moths in france this summer. Extraordinary things.Comment
