Record from my flat - Common Buzzard

After the welcome return of Common Buzzard sightings from my flat on 17th September 2023, the first record since 9th May 2023, I saw another bird today.

A single Common Buzzard flew in from the west at 1 p.m., had a quick soar over the houses before speeding off in an easterly direction in the brisk wind.

I have recorded Common Buzzard sightings from my flat since 2021. Sightings are, or at least were, 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 ....

March: 11th (a single bird), 12th (a single bird), 18th March 2023 (a single bird), 19th March 2023 (a single bird), 30th March (a single bird)

September: 17th (a single bird)
