A new buzzard appears
If you watch the video below you may recognise the large adult buzzard from my previous buzzard videos. Twenty seconds into the video and the image then morphs into a different buzzard, I suspect this new buzzard is a juvenile and it is the chick of the large buzzard which used to visit for food. The video above contains some pretty decent close up footage of this fine specimen. The loose feather come about after a failed attempt to pounce on a squirrel which darted into vegetation.
The previous buzzard used to visit on a daily basis for months and then it vanished mid July last year never to return. I put this disappearance down to the presence of a cat which had started patrolling the area plus the wild summer vegetation which created ideal hiding places for the said cat to hide and pounce.
This new arrival is a far more feisty individual than last years visitor and its colour is amazing. In fact I can honestly say it is the most magnificently coloured buzzard I have ever seen. I have contemplated catching it to have a closer look. This would be a simple matter of putting a net suspended by string above the feeding spot and then when the buzzard is happily eating I could cut the string and allow the net to fall on top of it. My only fear is that it may go berserk and start flapping its wings wildly and inadvertently injure itself which would be a catastrophe. Such an experience may also put it off returning to the food spot ever again.
Assuming this new buzzard is the chick of last years visitor, and the chances are that it certainly is because this was not filmed in ‘classic’ buzzard territory, it was filmed in a built up semi-urban environment where buzzards are not widespread. But assuming it is, what I find totally amazing is that it must have been shown this place of easy food by its parents and that would mean they posses the power to pass on useful knowledge to their offspring which surely would indicate they posses a high level of intelligence?

More excellent and fascinating LOCAL wildlife footage.
Keep it up Mr Citizen.
Hardly a chick though is it? Here is info from the BBC you might like.
Buzzards are smaller than golden eagles but just as formidable as predators. These imposing hunters drop down on rabbits and small mammals from slow or hovering flight or from a perch. Having snatched their prey in powerful talons, they nearly always make their kill on the ground. In recent years, the population of British buzzards has exploded, and now thrives in areas where there were once only a few, such as Cheshire
West you attention seeking twat, what has that got to do with wild birds? Always seeking attention and playing the victim. You are a joke.
That's just like me saying: is there a link to the Labour Party and some very, nasty, vile, individuals in our siciety?
THE HIDDEN SHAME OF THE LABOUR PARTY!
Labour Councillors Convicted!

Sorry Society.
Keep up the high standards of spelling on this blog.
Is there a link between members of the Labour Party and child molesters?
That's a leaflet being posted out to residents in Dukinfield.
Mr West, two very simple questions that I would appreciate your response to, if you would be so kind:
1: What do you understand the word 'incitement' to mean?
2: What is it about the above quoted post by John Taylor that you consider to be 'incitement'?
Also, one can only assume that you feel somehow personally slighted by Taylor, as this is not the first time you bring this up. However, if you no longer represent the BNP and are not a C18 member, then why does it bother you so much?
Roy K West said...
I've been a candidate for the BNP since 2007, I don't like being linked to crimes such as murder.
I've told this to the police tonight. It's up to them to address my complaint not you.
I have told the police that his comments are on the internet to bring violence to my family.
They will have to decide what to do about this matter.

Firstly, I have no desire to 'address your complaint', nor have I offered to.
You repeatedly post this type of 'complaint' on a PUBLIC messageboard of which I am a reader. I just sought to clarify exactly what it was you were actually complaining about.
From your strangely paranoid response, it is unclear how the words you quoted (then swiftly deleted) could construe any form of 'incitement to violence'.
This would appear to be a 'vexacious complaint' and indeed an attempt to waste police time - at least one of which is an actual offence in it's own right.
If they really are out to get you, why make it this easy?
Roy we are all worried for you ? your pushing to hard
clora don't worry yourself about it, I'll let you know what the police say about the matter soon.
Hindley we covered Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Liverpool, Blackpool, Glasgow, Barnsley, Tameside, never saw you there.
I'm from West Yorkshire never saw you there Hindley.
You are best at coming along to meetings wanting to fight with other nationalists.
clora
strangely paranoid! yes, well I suppose it comes with being subjected to violence, political thuggery, smear, allegations, ect...
Having the local pigs being sent round to your house whenever you argue with a local thug can give people the impression that some people are out to do them harm.
Serpent Slayer, who are you talking about when you say "local pigs"?
the filth
1: "What do you understand the word 'incitement' to mean?"
Clora, what do you understand the phrase, 'pompous know nothing' to mean?
So the combined might of Tameside Nationalism and associated 'hangers on' are unable to explain where INCITEMENT comes in to the Taylor blog post quoted by Mr West.
Ah well, better jump to his defence anyway eh?
Anonymous 17:30, Fuck off you Nazi paedophile cunt.
How's that for an 'explanation'. Or perhaps you'd react to vile lies like this on tens of thousands of leaflets or on blog posts in the same chilled out way you post from the comfort of your armchair.
Or perhaps you're just a sniping tosser without the belief or guts to stand up for what you believe, if anything.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words, but it is still not an answer, is it?
Anyone else able to answer the civilised question?
Yes it is. Constant, lying abuse is incitement. And you ARE a gutless, know nothing, non-entity.
What you describe, though unpleasant, is NOT incitement to violence.
Anyone else?
If someone persistently, on their blog and via thousands of leaflets uses vile slurs, particularly words like Nazi, and then in the very same ward whilst YOU are out leafleting, people (who have received said leaflets, and I know from experience it's always far worse if you do it the day after the lying, paid for by Labour, smear mercchants have been out leafleting) are on the receiving end of vile abuse and threats of physical attack, you would be entirely justified in claiming incitement. How would you describe it, if you've got the character and resolve to express an opinion as opposed to being a poseur.
Mr West's complaint above did not concern leaflets in any way, rather a specific blog post which mentions neither him nor his family. It does mention two specific groups, the BNP and C18, neither of which Mr West represents. (Please check Taylor's site, it is still there).
Instead of constructing strawman arguments about leaflets, please explain how this specific incident constitutes incitement to violence in any way - you have had ample opportunity to do so yet seem unable.
Linking the BNP to a crime had nothing to do with is highly irresponsible. Mr West HAS represented the BNP many times and may do so again. There has been an ongoing dmonisation campaign to link the BNP and any nationalist party with criminals, crime and actions they have nothing to do with. Use of words like Nazi, fascistetc have been constantly disseminated, and in this ward in particular,over the last five years, of which this fabricated link is the latest example. This is done to create an atmosphere of hostility and suspicion of the BNP and many former and existing BNP activists and members can bear witness to the violent and aggressive fruits of these tactics.
You may not consider that incitement, those on the receivng end do.
The post has now been removed, as has happened with other such posts on the site previously.
You would have to know the history of the gutter tactics used by some of the Tameside Labour Mafia over the last few years to know that this incident is part of a series, not an isolated example.
