Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo) the paler bird. |
I was up and about early and once I had the inside jobs done I started with the Garden and then I went and had some luch sat up on the terrace for the first time this year.

Common Buzzards (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo) two of the five birds.

Whilst I was sat there I picked up a distant low flying large Raptor over the Olives which turned out to be the four record of
Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aguila Imperial Ibérica / Aguila adalberti) for the terrace. It was again a young bird which looked as though it was coming towards me so I ran down to get the Camera but by the time I got back I could not relocate it so I continued to have Lunch.

At 13.00 I sat down and watched the Wolves play, never used to interested in football and still would not call myself a fan but after spending a year living with two of the most enthusiastic Wolves fans I know (Jayne's brother Martin and his wife Julia) I quite enjoy it now.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh90xSvdTFYd-M9J2OwtahBncUTaOYw2hUdDlqQ25d3cm9fRpfT8MptOX1pUKAH8gXFDH_bY9CIJGYsHL00SkxgJq2QcCQEHl028y6seJGPP8kKyIroBtwT41XUem3ddb8iASUOCmhCmKg/s16000/14th-Feb-21-8.jpg) |
