David@ a sunless end of Swansea Bay

Some years ago we had quite a few collared doves nesting in the
immediate neighbourhood. Then a family of buzzards set up home in
nearby pine trees, and all the doves mysteriously disappeared. The
buzzards reared three healthy and very noisy offspring!

At present, we've got the lot! Wood pigeons, collared doves and a
buzzard which shot past me just above my head and took to the heights
mewing as it went. Minutes later, 4 were overhead. That has never
happened before. We often see buzzards on top of a telegraph pole or
fence post, however.
