andyfr1968 772 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 There's loads of them where I am in West Yorkshire, mate. I see them pretty much every day. There's been loads of them released in the area this past few years and they've really got a hold. I've seen a few Buzzards too this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Saw my first one round here on Sunday. (Pembrokeshire) Saw plenty of them around in mid Wales in the past though. They reckon they were more common than crows in the middle ages, I can't even begin to comprehend what that must have been like.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
