Having said that, I may have a go at Burrough Hill tomorrow morning, as it looks like the wind's going to drop a bit. Those Laps have got to start flying over Leics soon!The Leicester Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726759603199971409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572516369337055937.post-1506856173090058482010-09-16T09:53:32.126+01:002010-09-16T09:53:32.126+01:00Also in hindsight I may have made a mistake I-Ding...Also in hindsight I may have made a mistake I-Ding the birds but there were not Common Buzzards!!davidearlgrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253992641232430601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572516369337055937.post-64812131708109095032010-09-16T09:44:27.915+01:002010-09-16T09:44:27.915+01:00Wise words Andy,I just wished more people did Vis-...Wise words Andy,I just wished more people did Vis-migging during the autumn as unusual birds do pass through Leicestershire.davidearlgrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253992641232430601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572516369337055937.post-33328329370301913682010-09-14T16:28:43.465+01:002010-09-14T16:28:43.465+01:00Having seen Common Buzzards, Marsh Harriers and on...Having seen Common Buzzards, Marsh Harriers and on one occasion a Sparrowhawk misidentified as Honey Buzzards, I suspect it's more a case of many records elsewhere being bollocks rather than them not being on Leicestershire birders' radar.<br /><br />Other than in 'invasion' years such as 2000 (which only happen under very specific weather conditions), genuine Honey Buzzards are pretty damn rare on passage away from the east coast.
