I spent 13:00 to 14:15 in the car park field, staring up at the clear blue skies.
It is hard to get an accurate count, but a minimum of 10, probably more like 15 Buzzard were up, 7 together at the end of my watch. Less Red Kites in fact, 3 different Sparrowhawk, 1 Kestrel, 5+ Meadow Pipit went thru almost unnoticed, then the year tick also just before I left was a solitary Linnet North at 14:08. Linnet is tough to get now, even more so as they are about to build on the nest site at the top of Sandford Lane, so if not over the summer, October is the best month to get them on passage.
