that is indeed a big ol bud, yesty i encountered a buzzard ripping the head off a pigeon

massive pile of feathers in the middle of the road and the buzzard got spooked by my car and eventually gave up the decapitation effort and f**ked off, miraculously the pigeon flapped off over the hedge the other way. probably sort of injuries that meant the buzzard got him after i'd left the scene. never seen a buzzard up that close before and they are big.

when i got home i looked up the buzzard on the googles to confirm my peepers and they have a wingspan of up to 1.2m (1.2m) the buzzard not my peepers. anyway the sea eagle is twice the size of a buzzard so they really are mahussive.

and that's all the bird of prey news for now, over to matt with the latest on the weather, matt....
