There were four or five of these pellets in an area about a metre square and having found them, I downed tools and took up tweezers and a magnifier along with a bowl of water and this is what came out of one pellet...
And on even closer inspection...
There were also these smaller particles..
And now for the question... Whose pellet is this anyway?
We've seen the buzzard in this particular willow in the past...???
Any ideas. (I.Ds) please?
Thank you to Tim and Susan for help with IDs.
Tim asks for close ups of the jaws, so, working from left to right off photo 3, row 2 (above), here goes:

We have found 2 fresh pellets this morning under the next willow along in the garden
