Another new one on us this morning. In bed, 7:30, when we hear what sounds like a herd of goats dancing on the roof above us. Loud, like really loud. WTF!!
Wife instructs me to investigate. Slippers on, out the back door, round to the side of the house below the bedroom, look up to see a farking big buzzard standing on the gutter. He/she looks at me, then a few beats of massive wings and then floats off to the nearest oak tree.
What it was doing on the roof I’ve no idea. Killing something? Chasing something? Mating?
There are loads of buzzards about, constantly hearing their cries, and them circling around. Lovely looking things.

Had our trail camera on the hog house every night this week and nobody going in and out so just lifted it up and cleaned out all the newspaper and shredded paper that we put in plus a lot of moss and other nesting material that we hadn't put in.
Then re positioned with a sheet of cardboard will add some fresh shredded paper nearer the winter.

Things got rather busy chez Braconnier at 11 yesterday evening. There's a small family of foxes here, with the three cubs, one male and two female, becoming increasingly bold and independent. Here's one of the females, who has inherited her mother's unusually dark-tipped tail, giving her larger brother a good chewing.
Just a minute later, her sister came in for similar treatment. I'm rather glad to see this, as both sisters were rather shy and diffident, but are now much bolder.
Male cub's contemplative moment
didn't last long, as he turned and fled
because the badger clan had turned up mob-handed - three of them!
