Raptor Rapture

There’s a little wood nearby that I walk the dogs in most days. Following a different path a few weeks ago, I discovered that buzzards had built a nest above the path. I think there’s at least two chicks in it, but I’ll have to wait until they are bigger before I’m able to get a better view of them. Meanwhile, in a nearby field, lapwings keep a beady eye out for the buzzards, and I’ve seen them dive-bombing the buzzards in an attempt to keep them away from their own nest. Nature is merciless.
