Just had a record number of Buzzards soaring over the garden, 7 in all. A great sight to see.

Over the years I've seen Buzzard, Red Kite, Kestrel, Peregrine, Hobby, Merlin, Sparrowhawk and the best one Montagu's Harrier.

Thats over 20 years and I have several large fields from the bottom of the garden.
I did manage to call several other birders for the "Montys" who also saw it.
