Nick!
Sorry for not answering before, but I have been birding in Peru the last month.
The passage of juvenile Honey Buzzards at Falsterbo normally culminates in
the first half of September. Median date for the last 15 years is 14
September. No high numbers after 20 September and only a few birds in
October. It is very unlikely that high numbers migrated somewhere else in
Sweden after 15 September.
