The bird is called a *Buse, which I presume is a buzzard?

Yes, according to my online dictionary. *It's also a 'tube'. *;-)

Is that where the word bus comes from? * I know, bad joke! *An omni
bad joke :-)

You sound like Ray. *When the sky is black and threatening he says
"That looks very omnibus". *;-) *As indeed it does tonight. *It's now
pitch black but just before the light went totally, the view was
monochrome with only the faintest hint of green still in the fields. *
It was a most unusual sight and I wish I could have photographed it but
I doubt it would have registered. It was just like looking at an old
black and white photo that had been very slightly tinted.

The weather here is a bit bi-polar!!!! One minute the sky is black,
depressing and then the next all light and sunny! I can't keep up
with the changes today :-) Furthermore there is a lot of blustering
going on, it seems that nature is having a hissy fit.

We had a three hour thunderstorm and torrential rain this evening.

I can't believe that a week ago it was 18C and that we were putting our boat
into hibernation for the winter in the sunshine.

Please don't tell me this is coming our way! We had Judith's weather
today - light, dark, rain, sun - enough to make one giddy!
