| Re: Buzzard hovering
Hovering is definitely in the range of normal behaviours for this bird.
My experience is that they are more prone to do this in a slight breeze rather than a stronger wind and also on an updraught produced at the side of a hill. Seen them hover on the side of the A37 between Dorchester and Yeovil where the land on either side falls away towards Sydling (east) and Maiden Newton (west).
An impressive sight, to say the least, as you draw alongside them!
