Interesting. The buzzards near us do not like kites. There were a pair of kites who seemed to be taking interest in a nesting site next to the garden last year, but they were constantly harassed by the buzzards and eventually found somewhere else. Perhaps our buzzards are harder than your buzzards (or our kites are wimps!)

We live on the Montgomeryshire canal and have seen a buzzard and kite locked together in the air. I think it was a draw as they eventually separated and went their own way.

I know nothing about hawks, buzzards, kites, kestrels but, whilst standing on a roof opposite London’s Charing Cross Station in the past hour, I noted this going on. Not a brilliant pic but I have always wanted to post something in the ‘What’s Outside’ thread of this forum!! Not sure the pigeons will be as excited.

I’m not sure if this translates straightforwardly as tegeirian gwenyn or if it is usually called something else.
Seen unexpectedly today.
