Honey Buzzards at SECC!

Image copyright Lars Lundmark

The image is not of the birds at SEC, one bird was very similar to this bird though.

Yesterday (16 September 2009) I had the thrill of seeing two juvenile Honey Buzzards gliding slowly south over the Armadillo, they are rare birds in Scotland with only a few pairs nesting each year. These are the first Honey Buzzards I've ever seen, I've searched for them in Southern Spain, Cyprus, the Greek Island of Lesvos and also at their breeding areas in Norfolk to no avail. In typical Glasgow bus style, after waiting so long; two come along at once :)

Description's have been submitted to the local rarities committee, because they are so rare the record has to be accepted by the committee. Will post an update on their decission.
