Big kestrel

It's been a while since my last post, work is managing to keep me occuppied (thankfully).  Anyway, been to most of the usual haunts over the last couple of weeks but nothing noteworthy to report.  Swifts, swallows... blah blah blah

Driving up the M2 Sunday evening and from a distance (a long one) I seen the biggest kestrel ever, hovering over the roadside!  Bloody 'ell, it was massive.  Anyway as I got nearer it turned out to be an adult buzzard using the very strong headwind to hover...... I felt a little bit stupid....... you would too....... no, you would!
