Buzzard

I just had to let all my readers, okay on person and four cats, that on Tuesday I had a sighting of a Buzzard over one of the fields near my home. It was rather brief but was quite near. It disappeared over the crest of the hill. Then yesterday, Thursday, I was walking to the next village and as I neared the top of the hill that I climb on leaving the village, if I went the other direction there is another hill too, I saw a Rook that suddenly too to the air. Then right at the crest of the hill this Buzzard glided over the crest of the hill. It was no more than four or five feet from the ground and as it passed me it was no more than fifteen feet from me and the edge of the field. It is the closest I have ever been to a Buzzard and the best sighting I have ever had.
