Some weeds for the girls and another feather to identify

Today I did a bit of gardening and gave the girls some weeds and the dead heads from the roses. They love the rose petals and soon hoover them up.

The girls enjoy the weeds and rose petals

It was the first sunny day for a long time so we went for a walk and I found another feather to identify.

I picked this up from a local field that we walked through

We have lots of red kites and a few buzzards here all the time, but I think because of how broad the feather is, that it is most likely from a buzzard. The feather is five inches long and two inches wide. I wasn’t intending to continue with identifying feathers but just couldn’t resist picking this one up as I haven’t found one of these before.
