The flight o( the buzzard is as wtW
nigh perfection as Is possible to find.
In fact, he might be called the most
perfect aeroplane in existence. To
see him soaring between the bare
hills, with a vast green fertile valley
below him. and with the spring cun
lighting up his brown plumage as he
slowly galls around, wi'h outspread
plniors. Is a sight never to be forgot-
ten.
The buzzard usually chooses m
ledge on a cliff for ar, eyrie, but In
certaii parts of Wales there are a few
well used nests in trees, and aa
these are generally used by some
bird of prey each season, they grow to
an enorrn i.~ size The buzzard Hoe*
not as a rule use the nrae nest twt
consecutive easons, but returns »
it rhe third, and after that allows tnb
