tea break ...
we watch a buzzard shit
from the telephone pole
He sat there for a while on the only pole amongst the rice paddies, then lifted his tail feathers, took a deep breath (so to say) and then squeezed a huge white load out, more than a meter behind himself ... where it then made its way toward the earth ...
Since this spring, we see him more often, trying to compete with the local tombi, the black milan.

Opening some 'old' mail, and chanced upon this one today.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a sight to see! And what a large package it must have been!Don't know if I should wish that I had been there to see it.
Today, rain (what else is new) and so no doves or pigeons in sight, let alone buzzards. There is/was a buzzard in the Veluwe some months ago, bothering cyclists whom it perceived as threats to its nest. That doesn't mean that 'buzzard' is a spring kigo here, though.
summer rain
the buzzard's eggs
long gone
