Mordicus the Buzzard (2) by JOSEPHINE POOLE and SIMON KING
Mordicus, the youngest of three buzzard chicks, has survived the handicaps of his early days and begins to fend for himself. Strong and healthy now, he develops his hunting skills, finds his own territory and chooses a mate. But life still has a few setbacks in store.
