Honey Buzzard Ventnor Downs



 Distant - but jizz and flight action gave it away - (probably an adult female) Honey Buzzard over Bonchurch @08:55 [2020-08-28]. Of late, good numbers of tree pipits going over Ventnor; plus a decent variety on the downs on calmer days. 

Juvenile common buzzard (01-09-20)

And good to see the official 2017 bird report land on the doormat; front cover showcasing Andy's fine photo of the Eastern Subalpine Warbler.
