For #WorldBirdsOfPreyWeekend Steppe Eagle which is now listed on @BonnConvention Appendix I, so receiving the top level of protection globally. Hopefully a species action plan will follow soon.
This'll help conserve Steppe Eagles that will hopefully get the strongest level of protection - addition to Appendix I by #CMSCOP12 in Oct.

For #WorldBirdsOfPreyWeekend a Common Buzzard
Sinuous waterweed in the clear water of Eelsfoot Drain. Flushed a woodock from the fringing poplar belt. Sentinel Buzzard on a pile of uprooted trees, in the sun's last glow, as skylarks in the stubble, thrushes & corvids headed to roost, exchanging quiet comfortable sounds. 5/5

Gotta admit, breast feathers of this roadkill pheasant are a masterpiece. (Someone must have designed a tweed to emulate this...?)
& who knew what feathery boots are worn by Tawny Owls (also a roadkill, in this case salvaged - anyone want it - fresh but body largely eaten?) 5/7

Assume an Egyptian Goose nest in that there dead tree.
Nice, big Goshawk #ThorpeWoodlands.
Blackcap & Chiffchaff providing the main sounds of spring.
At West Harling a Sparrowhawk flatlined low along a hedgerow.
Hairy Tare in flower in the woods.
(NB V. bad photos alert!) 2/5

Delightfully confiding (ringed GV43..) Barn Owl out and about at 4pm, clearly eschewing its usual crepuscular breakfast, unable to resist an early one in the beautiful afternoon sunshine, before the storm arrives.

A barn owl successfully quartered a clear fell in the brilliant evening light, and seemed to want to accompany me for part of my walk, apparently enjoying the audience.

For my birthday, daughter Tessa again intuited a bird on my mind, this handsome Critically Endangered Hooded Vulture. Today #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #WMBD2020, it is one of THE most threatened migratory birds after mass poisoning of >2000 in Guinea Bissau. http://bit.ly/2SMLwFO
