14:00
Driving past, windows down in the glorious sunshine today, a spot of Perry Como on the car stereo.. Approached a buzzard on a freshly-killed rabbit on the single track road (the off side as I drove). Slowed down thinking it would fly off. But it didn't fly off. I drove right past it (off side tyres within a foot of the buzzard at walking pace). I even leant my head out of the window to get an amazing view. One can only realistically assume we have a buzzard here that likes Perry Como.
