Buzzard brings the rain!

Just before the promised heavy showers arrived on the Heath, a beautifully-marked Common Buzzard spent ten minutes stooging about over the garden. Every now and then a small passerine would climb up to mob it: Greenfinches, Chaffinches and a Blackbird all took turns! When a couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls joined in, however, the Buzzard decided discretion was the better part of valour and swooped off southwards.
