The Jungle Book

Or our version of it. Remember the scene in the Disney version when four vultures (resembling the Beetles- Ed.) are sat in a dead tree.

🎶“That’s What Friends Are For”🎵.

Well, this is our version. Now that the trees have been lopped we have new vantage points for the residents. On the left is the baby Buzzard, now abandoned by it’s parents, its mewing seeking them echoes eerily around the valley. He just wants to hang out with his (?) new friends. In the middle is a pigeon type thing – either one of those (full name is Wood Pigeon – Ed.), or a Collard Dove, or Stock Dove. On the right is a is a Nuthatch who is making an alarming noise because of the friendly Buzzard being so close.
