I love how a group of usually three buzzards will hover over my garden making tweeting noises then glide away in the air.
Ratty and I are still at war, cheeky little sod. Had one trap gone missing and a few set off.
Still he comes down to the garden pond through the flowers onto the small ledge, to get the food I put in for the fish. He leans forward over the pond and scoops it back. Shame really as I have got quite found of him. However we see him from the conservatory, try to open the door and he is gone like a ruddy shot. However this morning I did manage to get the door open just wide enough to take a shot, but as normal he noticed. Made worse that I could put a hole in the pond. Still I pulled the trigger on a very un-aimed shot and in a nano second he leapt straight up into the air like a high jumper and then went straight into the pond. Not sure if he jumped with fright or I hit him, all happened so quick.
Anyway he has cost me loads of money so far

Might go for a little drive in the car with the top down in a minute. A bit of fresh air may blast this ruddy headache problem away or make it worse. Still I will wear my new "Peaky Blinder" hat
