Hi horses, they are quite common at my local reserve, that said I still get a thrill when I see them If they are unusual in your neck of the woods then you have had a special moment They love sitting on fence posts looking out for some tasty morsel, or they just soar above looking very majestic

They are the commonest raptor in the UK + in recent years have been spreading eastwards. Probably not as common in Kent as other areas, but even here they are becoming more widespread. Always a good bird to see. |

A person I know who goes to big SHOOTS..  ..told me that at one shoot he went to there were flocks of dozens and dozens of Buzzards overhead, I suppose the existance of hundreds of gamebirds in the area attracted them. No, they didn't shoot Buzzards, but they were a hinderence to start with..(GOOD!) but I presume they made a quick getaway when the 'banging' started. |
