This afternoon at 3:50 p.m., I heard a calling Common Buzzard and then briefly saw it as it flew over the wooded area beyond my flat.
I have seen at least one Common Buzzard on each of my last four visits to my nearby St. Nicholas Church local patch site and this sighting from my flat follows three in July 2025. This is a significant and welcome increase following a scarcity in sightings during the first half of the year.
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: 7 dates involving 9 birds
Love nature .... act now
