Dude! I've just seen the bird that makes the weird noises divebombing a crow right outside my window and I think it's a buzzard. Not like one I've seen before though; I got a pretty good look at it and it's definitely more black than brown and completely white underneath. Kind of like this. I think there might be a pair of them nesting in the trees down the carpark and across the road because I swear I saw another one flying in beside the one I saw up close.

Dude, that was so cool. It was literally *right* outside my window. Hopefully they'll stick around for the summer.

edit: Also I've given up on the idea of sleeping. I'm just doing the contents page for the first completed portfolio and then the final tying-up of unfinishness and loose ends begins on the other one. I'm nowhere near happy with the quality of what I'm actually submitting but that point is that I'm actually submitting and exactly what they asked for to the word (assuming the unfinished portfolio turns out okay). This is an improvement over six hours ago and even more of an improvement over twelve hours ago.

I think the birds have gone crazy. There's now a swift chasing off a magpie. Spring madness.

Noooo, be careful when walking around outside, the horrific image of poor Helen being carried away by a crazy buzzard will keep many people awake for days.

*ties some weights to Helen's feet*

Gah! Just heard a really loud plane fly over, thought my life was about to cut back to what's happening on the island, but nope, still here!

:p I'm not *that* small! Cheek. ;)

*tries to walk with weights and falls over*

Aww, poor Daniel. *pets* I still haven't watched the second series of Lost, really must get down to that.

You so crack me up. That's more a falcon/hawk of some sort than a buzzard, if it looks like the picture. :-) *pets you* Odd's are the noises means it's hunting things. Crows/magpies maybe? ;-) *pets the birdie* It's very pretty.

*snuggles you*

Hey, a buzzard *is* a hawk! :p At least it is over here. :) Looking it up, it says they tend to make more noise when nesting which is probably why I haven't heard them before now. The colouring did make me think it might be a Peregrine but the habit and wing shape's all wrong so I'm pretty sure it had to be a slightly unusual coloured buzzard. It certainly wasn't happy with that crow this morning. ^_^ It's cool to have something so pretty outside my window.

*snuggles back*

Buzzars just strikes me as being more... like big fugly birds, not pretty ones like that. :-) Crow was probably trying to invade its nest for something.
