Following yesterday's sighting, I had yet another record of a single Common Buzzard this morning at 11.10 a.m.
Again, I first heard the distinctive “mewing” call and I quickly located the bird flying high and slowly in a southerly direction over the wooded area beyond the houses. Presumably, it was the same bird that I then saw at 11.30 a.m. returning although it then soared briefly and again flew off in a southerly direction.
I had my first Common Buzzard record from my flat for the year (a single bird) on 7th March 2022.
This has been followed by further sightings on ....
