Went down to Watford / Man City on Saturday
1 Kestrel, 2 Sparrowhawks, 6 Buzzards and 10 Red Kites along the various motorways M6/M42/M40/M25

Even 5 years ago it would have been the other way round. Along the M56 I rarely see a Kestrel at all these days - whereas there is a Buzzard every few miles. What is going on - have farmers successfully erradicated all the rodents in Britain or are they doing something odd to the motorway verges like a new sort of weedkiller or something ?
