IS THERE HONEY STILL FOR TEA ?

This morning I reported for special duties at General Mcvails,having been blinfolded and sworn to secrecy I was taken to a secret location to watch out for buzzards,not your common or garden buzzards but honey buzzards.We didn`t have to wait long before two birds took to the air and circled around in the distance.

In all four birds were seen.

Two ravens made their presence known by" cronking" from the cliff.
