Buzzard and Crow

As the breeding season approaches there is an increasing level of interaction as birds pass through others territories. This Buzzard came too close to the Crows selected nest site and was rapidly chased away.

The Great Grey Shrike was again in Wragg's Quarry this morning but I was still unable to identify what it was feeding on. It's a small beetle I think, I saw it disgorge another pellet so may have a look for it later.
