It has got very exciting here now, the Buzzard is a wary beast, he knows something isn't quite as it seems and he's not falling for it. A few minutes ago he suddenly landed on the up-right log that we had burried in the ground especially for him when this was all set up. I have a canouflaged veil over the openeing of the pit hide just feet away and I am sure that any tiny bit of movement from me would have seen him departing rapidly. I was pretty sure he was staring at me intently and it just took one slight twitch from me and he was off this time like lightening. It was incredible to see him though from even closer than before.......... I am just loving this, it's very tense and exciting. I am still confident that eventually he will come down to the rabbit, he must be hungry or he would have left the scene ages ago. I have now seen him very close, three times this morning. He is actually calling from behind me as I speak. I am learning that Buzzards are very careful before they come down to suspicious prey, this bird sits looking at it for hours before he takes achance. Even if today doesn't work out today though, it really bodes well for the future. In the meanwhile, here's some photos of Nuthatches from earlier. By the way it's quiet again, sure he is still behind me.
