My favourite bird is the Striated Kara-Kara---However,I concede that a sighting in rural Buckinghamshire is,probably,unlikely.By way of compensation,however, I did espy an unusual birdie on the roof of my partner's garden shed in Marlow Bottom yesterday. "Look !" I exclaimed excitedly, " A hawk of some sort !"
    "It's a Wood Pigeon,you plonker!" she retorted.
"Wood Pigeons haven't got talons,long tails,and curved beaks",I riposted.
So she went and got her digi camera,and got off three good shots before it Foxtrotted Oscar, and then put them up on the computer screen.
         Even SHE had to admit that it was, in fact,a Goshawk.
Not really Karen's thing,birds.
