Records from my flat - Red Fox and Common Buzzard

Records of Red Foxes from my flat continue and have increased in frequency in recent weeks, possibly as a result of this year's grown cubs dispersing from their natal areas.

This morning at 5 a.m., I was woken up by at least 2 vocalising Red Foxes at the rear of the block of flats where I live although I failed to see them.

At 1:30 p.m., I had a brief view of a distant Common Buzzard flying north being pursued and harassed by a Carrion Crow.

Sightings of Common Buzzard have been much lower in the last 2 years and have been especially uncommon this year with only 3 including today's sighting.

Summary of Common Buzzard records during the last 4 years:

2021: 11 dates involving 13 birds

2022: 26 dates involving 38 birds

2023: 8 dates involving 8 birds

2024: 3 dates involving 3 birds
