Just as well we had our Border collie with us.The parents attack cyclists and joggers when they go past - some have had quite nasty head injuries.

Very true Gwyn, had a good look but to no avail. Will be back in the next couple of weeks to see what's happening.The other could have already fledged and have been in a tree nearby.

While we were out walking near Appleby in Westmorland we spotted a Buzzard nest across a small valley with a stream below. The footpath was at the same height as the nest and about 60m away with two chicks in it.
All shots are with the 600mm and cropped to the same size.
First sighting.
