The presence of a diverse bird population is evident there, thanks to the abundant Lough Neagh flies (midge), which are harmless but you can see from their presence in the photos. Pictures were taken on the 8th of April, due to better (and warmer) weather conditions.

They appeared duller and less fluffy.

A pheasant was killed by one of them in front of my house a few years ago while we were away for the whole day. Having discussed this with a neighbour, it never occurred to me that the buzzard could kill pheasants.

The buzzards usually keep their distance from people, especially around their house, based on my observations.
