As already blogged, Thursday was our first good raptor day of the autumn with eight species seen. Hopefully this is a taste of things to come and with the Veoilia Landfill viewpoint nearly complete we are itching to get up there.
Both Marsh Harrier and Buzzard have been since then and amazingly the Black Kite was see again on Thursday about an hour later heading back towards the reserve so just about anything is possible!
Common Buzzard (Andy Tweed)
Juvenile Marsh Harrier (Andy Tweed)
Not great but here is my Honey Buzzard. note the relatively long narrow tail and smallish protruding head
