Record from my flat - Common Buzzard

After recording my first Common Buzzard of the year from my flat on 23rd February 2023, I had my second record this morning.

I arrived home from a trip over to Noak Bridge Nature Reserve at 11:25 a.m. (see here) and as I reached the front entrance door of my block of flats, I heard the “mewing” call of a Common Buzzard. I quickly located the bird soaring high over the wooded area beyond the houses opposite where I live.

I have recorded Common Buzzard sightings from my flat since 2021. Sightings are increasing and last year I was almost convinced that there was a resident and possibly nesting pair in the area since I also frequently saw birds over my nearby local patch site around St. Nicholas Church.

This is the summary of my Common Buzzard sightings from my flat for the last 2 years ....

2021: 11 dates with those records involving 13 birds

2022: 26 dates with those records involving 38 birds

This is the summary of my Common Buzzard sightings from my flat for 2023 to date ....

February: 23rd (a single bird)

March: 11th (a single bird)
