I guess that is why we frequently have Kites and Buzzards circling around above our garden...probably not quite so good for those people who have recently lost kittens and pet rabbits to them though.😕<br />I do love these large birds, but can't help feeling sad for their unfortunate prey!<br />A fabulous post, many thanks.😊😊<br />And thank you so much, also, for your wonderful words of support on my blog...which I appreciate so much.<br /><br />Greetings from Hampshire.Ygrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-43962361439307844072021-05-21T16:17:05.990+01:002021-05-21T16:17:05.990+01:00Boa tarde meu querido amigo.

Occasionally, there will be a visit by a smaller bird of prey.
