Quite an Experience. Particularly For One Squirrel

Such excitement - The young buzzard which hatched in one of the very tall trees across the field caught a squirrel in TWWLUTR's back garden. Landed rather heavily on top of the by now deceased squirrel and spread its wings over the corpse. A Positively Enormous Bird and very Beautiful in its own way. (Myself was quite glad to be studying it from a distance.)

Seemed not altogether sure what to do next because it squatted there for an age, turing its head from side to side as though checking whether we were going to try to wrest the squirrel from it. As if. (And we thought the MOF had evil eyes. These were many times worse and as for its beak....)

Had a few half-hearted attempts to eat it and then finally took off with it dangling from one foot.

Wow. Some experience.
