Aerial surveillance

Saturday 30 October 2010


Lots of flying things today.  The buzzard came in close, but we were too awestruck to take any photos before it went high again.  We saw two robins, and some other little birds, that we couldn't identify,were chattering in the bushes.  A Sparrow Hawk showed up, and scared the little birds into temporary silence. 

The Greek air force also checked us out, sending a couple of fighter planes in low, pretending to practice manoeuvres but really there because they'd heard we'd actually got some stuff done, I expect.

And then a flight of paragliders drifted across like thistledown.  The weather must've been perfect for them, bright, clear and still.
