Buzzards
22 Buzzard today in the fields between Haydock Racecourse and the A580 by Lady Hill Plantation, also a Grey Heron, Grey Wagtail and min 3 Song Thrush feeding with Blackbirds along Lodge Lane track
I saw some of the Buzzards and the Heron whilst driving along the east Lancs to Manchester this morning at about 10.30am. The Buzzards were really conspicuous and golden brown as the early morning sun hit them.
