When we moved here 13 years ago, we saw lots of buzzards and very few red kites but now the balance has changed completely. The re-introduction of red kites which were endangered (which I mentioned in my book Jews Milk Goats) has been so successful that I hardly see buzzards yet come across red kites everywhere. Out for my daily constitutional just now I was delighted to come across a buzzard flying over the fields and resting on a tree branch.
