If you can't beat them...

Buzzard.

Having just completed 30 Days Wild I wasn't intending to blip something wild.  However we were sat out enjoying a glass of wine after the BBQ and Clickychick started OOOhing.  There above us wheeled this buzzard.  A common site in the area but not over the garden.   They are also rarely low enough to for a decent shot.

The Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is probably by now the commonest bird of prey in the UK.  Once when travelling through the country the Kestrel was the bird of prey you saw now it seems to be the Buzzard.  I recently saw 8 in the air together over the M6.
