The bird seems to enjoy flying with the glider and does not seem to be
agressive. GM


Last week I had three buzzards circling with me in our LS4. They even kept
the same direction. Sometimes they recentered for better lift, I could
follow them and got my share. Beautiful.

Some years ago I met a flock of storks in 1600m. They just ignored me and
continued to climb into cloud base where I could not follow them.
