I had yet another record of Common Buzzard from my flat today, possibly the same bird on two separate occasions.
At 11 a.m. I saw a Common Buzzard soaring very distantly over the woodland beyond the houses opposite my flat. It eventually flew off slowly in a southerly direction but re-appeared again from behind my flat at 11:25 a.m. heading north.
This sighting from my flat follows three previous sightings in July and four in August 2025.
There has been a significant and welcome increase in sightings recently following a scarcity 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: 11 dates involving 16 birds
Love nature .... act now
