Common Buzzard over the garden this morning
As I had work being done in the house today I was unable to go far, I did manage a walk down Culver Lane where the stubble fields full of Yellow wagtails, Linnets and Meadow Pipits with a procession Swallow, Sand and House Martins going through. At the bottom of the lane I found the remains of a juvenile Marsh Harrier, no foul play suspected probably just not strong enough to make it on its own.
