Upon arrival, the sun was directly in front of the viewpoint, so looking out over the view was a bit difficult due to the terrible haze, and it was very, very bright!
A few Long-tailed Tits, Chiffchaff, Song Thrush and Linnets were heard around, and a family of Blue Tits were in the tree behind us. A few Common Buzzards were about, and at least one probable Honey Buzzard distantly.
After about 20 minutes, a Sparrowhawk flew around way out in the distance, and all of a sudden another shape appeared rather close, that upon further investigation turned out to be a Honey Buzzard, and it showed brilliantly for another minute or so before flying off.
This one had shown so much better then last time, so I was very pleased with the views, and sat down taking in the view again.
A Common Buzzard was again circling in the distance, but the short trip sadly had to come to a close as time was getting on, and I needed to get back home to finish off a Lasagne I had started making earlier.
Although the trip had been short and very little had actually been seen, the incredible views of the Honey Buzzard had allowed me to get much better photos than last time, and it was great to see this species so close up!
