There's a couple of pair nest at home every year. Me and the better half have a difference of opinion as to what they are. I'll let you decide. This is as close as I can get for a pic!!!!

Ever heard of birds escaping from an aviary?

That's an easy one buzzard. They would just die if they escaped.

No necessarily, I have heard of a family of Ruddies (African finches) doing quite well further north from me.
