Actually, Buzzards spend a lot of time sitting on posts like this, they sit very still watching for mice or voles in the grass/undergrowth around the bottom of the post. There are loads living around us, they often fly off from posts as we drive past, very beautiful birds (if you are not a mouse!)

Common Buzzard, lazy bu99ers, often seen on the ground looking for earthworms, when looking for voles is too much effort. ;0)
