Pine Raptoer

Autumn passage counts, week two

Six mornings, same lookout. Sparrowhawk 31, buzzard 54, honey buzzard 9, kestrel 12, hobby 3, osprey 1. Best day was Thursday after the front cleared: most of the buzzards came through between ten and noon in loose kettles of five to eight.

Honey buzzards are nearly done; the late ones are all juveniles.
