Buzzard on the edge of Dartmoor.

I went out to the edge Dartmoor today where last year  I had photographed Tree Pipit and Garden Warbler on or around this date.  The weather, although dry was extremely windy and consequently anyl small birds were keeping very low rather than singing from the tops of bushes as I hoped.   I watched Ravens and the Buzzard above soaring on the breeze.  I have turned this rather poor photograph in to a picture just for the record.

In the garden before I left, I photographed one of the resident House Sparrows in my  garden.  House Sparrows are a much maligned and over-looked bird though rapidly and mysteriously declining all over Europe
