This morning at 9:55 a.m., I heard a calling Common Buzzard and eventually saw and watched the bird soaring very high for a few minutes. I heard presumably the same bird calling distantly on 2 further occasions thereafter during the morning.
This was my first record of Common Buzzard from my flat since I saw 3 birds together on 29th March 2025 and only my 4th record this year although I have seen them occasionally on my nearby St. Nicholas Church local patch site.
Sightings of Common Buzzard have been much lower in the last few years after a peak of activity during 2022. However, 2025 is already an improvement on 2024.
Summary of Common Buzzard records during the last 5 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
2025: 4 dates involving 6 birds
Love nature .... act now
