Young Buzzard
My partner saw this buzzard at the edge of a road in the depths of the night. The buzzard was limping and dragging a wing. My partner parked the car, crossed the road and picked the buzzard up. We phoned The Hawk Trust who advised us to keep it in a cardboard box in a quiet place overnight. The Hawk Trust arranged for us to take it to a veterinarian practice the following day. After a few days, the Trust took it to its own hospital. This is the only photograph I took, with the flash switched off, so as to cause no further distress. I hadn’t been so close to a bird of prey before and its beauty made a huge impression on me. I don’t think this story had a happy ending. The Trust told us that the bird had severe injuries.
