Silbury Hill

Sheepbury Hill

If there are no buzzards in Avebury it's due to lack of local perches, not because it's beyond their distribution area. I've always been obsessed with them and I've seen them extend westwards a few miles at a time throughout my life. I saw one in Lincs this year.

About Z stone alignment. Does the obelisk come into this? Because, I understand, the concrete marker is misplaced. Pete will tell all no doubt.

The only way the obelisk is involved would have been ceremonially. Some fusion of solar/lunar essences.

Do you have smaller raptors - sparrowhawk, kestrel, owl - around Avebury? A profusion of rabbits generally means that the predators have been removed to favour gamebirds - pheasants, I would guess, down there.
