Record from my flat - Common Buzzard

I had another record of Common Buzzard from my flat this afternoon.

At 1.20 p.m., I heard the distinctive “mewing” call although it took some time to locate the bird soaring extremely high and almost out of eyesight to the north.

I had my first Common Buzzard record from my flat for the year (a single bird) on 7th March 2022.
