Racing

Just north & above Bristol Zoo and across the road, on the Downs, there is a path winding its way down towards Bridge Valley Road. It's a track that I regularly cycle. Yesterday as I pootled along it a buzzard swooped down from a tree to my left and raced me through the clearing. It won, of course, its silent buff wings only about three metres from me and at the same height as my head. Then it cheated by flying over the next bushes that I had to cycle around, and it was gone.

Magical.
