This is a young buzzard, photographed in the hawthorn trees beside Lambrok Stream. For a couple of weeks he has been hunting in the field on the Church Lane side of the stream, where there are field vole colonies. He roosts in the same oak the barn owls visited last spring.
It would be wonderful if he found a mate and nested in or around the park this year; fingers crossed.

Southwick Country Park Nature Reserve 
Two buzzards fly high over the Blind Lane fields every summer and I think have nested in gardens on the edge of the field. Perhaps this is one of their offsprings.
We see buzzards over the park but never in pairs. We would love a nest.
