I&#39;ll start with &#39;over the garden&#39;, a relatively scarce sighting of a buzzard. The photo doesn&#39;t do it justice (the bird was too far off), but this was late yesterday afternoon and the light was amazing.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/buzzard_3108117705.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>This next little one was spotted late into the evening.
