Rough legged buzzards!
A bit of a late post, but I couldn't miss it out!
On Saturday (17/07/10) we went for a walk to Abisko Canyon.
We had only been walking up the river for 10 minutes when we saw some buzzards flying above us. To our amazement as we looked down onto the rocks, there were some chicks!!
It was brilliant to see them and all looking so healthy too. Mom and dad are definitely doing well at parenting! I hope to back back at some point this week and see how they are doing.
(This photo was actually taken from the other side of the river as it was a better view of the nest.)
