wow they are great shots indeed well done
you may like my little bird story it happened last year
we now know the bird was a peregrine falcon not a buzzard
i am taking my family to the beach for the day
the country roads in cornwall uk can be very narrow
suddenly all the cars in front of me stop
i then see a bird of pray on the grass corner unable to fly he looks to big to have just left the nest i think he must have broken his wing nobody else was doing nothing
so i placed a towel on my sisterinlaws lap at this time i dont think we were worried about his sharp beak..the plan was to drive to the local police station 6 miles away where they could place him in a box or police dog kennel,,,then ring the RSPCA animal and bird centre
... guess what it is sunday and not one person is on duty in this police station
ok then we find out the rspca number and ring them our selfs they tell us it will take 3 hours for them to get to us,,,we tell them where we are parked near a river get all our
stuff out of the boot open all the car windows a little bit put the dog guard up in the bmw place a towel in the boot area and place the bird there for the next 3 hours
keeping a eye on the bird more like he was watching us like a hawk i did notice a white flap now and then covering his entire eye when he sort off blinked
my wife had this great idea of giving him a drink with the tea spoon that worked realy well and we could tell he realy enjoyed it
when the rspca finaly turned up and put on her gloves it suddenly dawned on me what a brave girl my sister inlaw was having had him on her lap for six miles
after she examined him quickly the first thought was a broken leg she as told us to ring up in a weeks time to see if he or she as survived the camera is the sony h2
with my shadow getting in the way some times hope my sony friends like them
we think its a buzzard
These are the e mails I received back from the RSPCA rescue centre about the buzzard
after many phone calls it looks like they have to many animals or birds and they
cant keep track of them all
i just wondered how the buzzard that we found on 20/06/2010 near looe Cornwall an officer collected it from us in the afternoon approx. 1500hours from the mill pool car park at looe the lady thought it had a broken leg she advised us we could contact u to see how the bird was, could you please make enquiries and let me know she did advise it was being taken to the hospital at Taunton
Thank you for your enquiry.
The bird was taken to a local veterinary establishment where it was examined and there were no injuries or breaks.
Thank you again for contacting the society.
Kind regards

hello,
Ref my recent enquiry can you please advise me if the buzzard was able to fly and if it has been released back into the area from which it was found was it just stunned then?
Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately, the information that we provided on your previous email is the only details we have on the system.
Animals are released back into the wild after treatment whenever possible as near to the location they were found as possible.
Thank you for showing a keen interest in the welfare of the bird, this is always a refreshing change.
Kind regards
