Honey Buzzard

Whilst driving Sam to football at Baldock, a Honey Buzzard was seen flying low eastwards, parallel with the A10. Fortunately there was a parking place and I was able to watch the bird as it turned south-eastwards and flew in to Hertfordshire.

Later in the garden I did a couple of hours sky-watching hoping for more, as there was something of an invasion in to East Anglia. Apart from a promising looking individual that was always drifting away, I failed, but did manage to get six Common Buzzards (may have been the same two individuals), a female Sparrowhawk, and a Hobby.
