Recently I have seen a buzzard on the edge of the wood and perched close to grazing rabbits which appeared to be completely unconcerned about its presence. This morning the buzzard was on the ground not five meters away from a rabbit.
I suspect that the buzzard is using the field to hunt for worms. What is more difficult to understand is why the rabbits are not responding in their usual manner to the close presence of such an obvious predator. Clearly they have become habituated to the buzzard's presence, but for one to be allowed to get so close is behaviour I have never previously observed.
