This afternoon at 5:50 p.m., I saw a Common Buzzard soaring over the wooded area beyond my flat after initially hearing it calling several times.
This was only my 6th record of Common Buzzard this year although I have seen them occasionally on my nearby St. Nicholas Church local patch site including 2 birds during my last visit on 25th July 2025.
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: 6 dates involving 8 birds
