Crying In The Rain

            European Buzzard  [Buteo buteo]

This youngster has been flying around my hill with his mum, for the past few weeks.  They call to each other as, I assume, she is showing him how to hunt.  

Here, he was sitting on a telegraph post, continually calling for his mum, who was very conspicuous in her absence.  Maybe she had gone hunting by herself - or maybe she thought the time had come to loosen the apron strings and let junior get on with it by himself.  Such a sad, sad sight.  He was was still there, hours later, as I was returning home.

Poor wee soul! 

Over my track,
South Carrick Hills
SW Scotland 

“If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain.”
