BUZZARDS ON THE WING...

            A £17,000 sculpture of two bird was officially unveiled by the then Duke of Gloucester in 2013.

The metal Malvern Buzzards sculpture has been put up in Rose Bank Gardens, Malvern, Worcestershire.

Both the town and district councils gave £7,500, with the remaining £2,000 being donated by individuals or firms.

The sculpture was designed and made by Walenty Pytel, from Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Asked why the birds were chosen, town clerk Richard Chapman, from the town council, said: "I think [there] was the suggestion the buzzards are often seen soaring over the Malvern Hills and it would be an appropriate sculpture to represent this.

As I used to live on the hill I can remember when the Buzzards first returned o Malvern and started nesting in the old quarry in North Malvern.
