BITS AND PIECES

September 11th (Garden)
When I can snatch thirty or so minutes,I quite often do a skywatch in the back garden,usually during the afternoons.So far this year I have had sightings of four Hobbies,numerous Sparrowhawks,six Common Buzzards,four Kestrals and one Red Kite.
This afternoon I had only just started watching (1500) when a large brown bird passed over SW.I first had a side on view and then a rear as it passed over a nearby roof.To cut it short,I`m thinking Honey Buzzard,but I just couldn`t get enough on it.I was compensated in some small way however five minutes later when a Hobby came into view.
