Buzzards

 Mr Conghaile brought a very unusual visitor to our school last week.  Unfortunately this visitor wasn't in the very best of spirits as he had met his end on the M1 motorway!

Mr Conghaile picked him up as he thought the feathers, beak and feet of this magnificent creature would be of interest to our boys.  And indeed they were delighted to find some fun facts about buzzards!

• Buzzards eat carcasses of roadkill. 
• They live in almost every part of the world.
• They soar in the sky seeking their prey.
• When a male buzzard wants to impress his mate he dives, soars and leaps in the air.
• Buzzard have excellent eyesight. This help them spot small prey from high in the sky.
