After seeing 3 Common Buzzards from my flat yesterday (see here), I saw yet another today at 1 p.m.
Again, I saw the bird soaring over the wooded area stretching up to St. Nicholas Church. It was interacting with another seemingly much small raptor. However, due to a phone call at the time, I could not get my binoculars on to them. The birds may have been a large female and a smaller male Common Buzzard (this species, like most raptors, is sexually dimorphic with females significantly larger than males) but there is a possibility that the larger bird may have been a male Common Buzzard and the smaller bird a female Sparrowhawk.
One of the birds was definitely a Common Buzzard which takes my 2021 total records from my flat to 10 dates involving 12 birds.
