Five fun #facts about common buzzards:
Common buzzards are very adaptable birds of prey and can be found in a wide range of habitats, from forests and farmland to urban areas.
Despite their name, common buzzards don't actually buzz when they fly. Instead, they produce a mewing or cat-like call that can be heard from a distance.
Common buzzards have excellent eyesight, which allows them to spot prey from high in the sky. They can see small rodents from a distance of up to 50 meters away.
Buzzards are known for their courtship displays, which involve aerial acrobatics and calling to one another. They will also present each other with gifts, such as twigs or feathers.
In some cultures, buzzards have been associated with death and bad omens. However, in other cultures, they are seen as symbols of strength and freedom. In ancient Egypt, for example, the god Horus was often depicted as a buzzard.

Somewhere in South Hertfordshire there is a beautiful area where Kestrels and other wildlife exist. This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.
Common kestrels measure 32–39 cm (13–15 in) from head to tail, with a wingspan of 65–82 cm (26–32 in). Females are noticeably larger, with the adult male weighing 136–252 g (4.8–8.9 oz), around 155 g (5.5 oz) on average; the adult female weighs 154–314 g (5.4–11.1 oz), around 184 g (6.5 oz) on average. They are thus small compared with other birds of prey, but larger than most songbirds. Like the other Falco species, they have long wings as well as a distinctive long tail.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.

The mute swan is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck and an orange bill with black at the base of it. Flies with its neck extended and regular slow wingbeats. The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move short distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe in eastern England.
The Queen has a prerogative over all swans in England and Wales. The Swan Keeper also dispatches swans all over the world, sent as gifts in the Queen's name.
As native wild birds, swans enjoy statutory protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and it is an offense to intentionally injure, take or kill a wild swan.

See the Red Kite on the Hunt for its next meal and takes a dive at something in someone's back garden !!
The red kite (Milvus milvus) is a medium-large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards, and harriers.
Using my New 4K camera which is the same handy size as my old SONY HX400.
It seems to have more issues with staying focused, but never the less I managed to get some of the best footage so far.
The detail in 4K really does help.
The video has clips I took using either IA or Video mode.
The video mode has more ability for more manual control over ISO or aperture or Speed.
Since being 4K it can be cropped to 1080p to get closer, I did this at one point in the video.
I also added a slowed down part where the Bird dives into a garden.
