At the 1st site, to S of the wood, the female was seen circling low-down around tall conifers at 12:20 and 12:30 before the male got up for a little display at 12:45, giving a single long flight call; many piccies (7021) were taken, showing the male's long neck, long tail and grey head; the female is larger and darker. |

The 2nd site was 3km away to the N, roughly in line with regulations! Two birds were seen here as well, with a female up over the open fields at 13:20 and 13:30 and the male up more towards the wood to E, mobbed by 2 Crow, at 13:35. The area appears to be a suntrap with several solar farms and a large vineyard. |

From 15:04-15:06 a female Honey-Buzzard was seen floating over the large plantation to NW of Smallacoombe Downs on the edge of the moor; she was patrolling slowly over her territory, not getting up to any great height. So another exciting discovery, suggesting significant occupation of the conifers on the moors. The site today appears to be in the Fowey catchment area, with extensive linear woods further downstream, but classified under Bodmin Moor for the moment. (7022) |
