The Honey-buzzard scene is particularly interesting as the birds are behaving much like those in Northumberland by 10/9 (so 2 weeks earlier here) with the juveniles left alone in their territory and continuing to forage there for a while. The behaviour of the one soaring family party with adult and juveniles up together is also similar to that in Northumberland. The false statements that juvenile Honey-buzzard once fledged do not remain in their breeding areas are based on 1) misidentification of juvenile Honey-buzzard as Common Buzzard, 2) perhaps studies of isolated territories where surrounding habitat is more readily accessible without conflict: something that can only be corrected by an authoritative book on the subject! |

At Schmung Schwaige (Seis far E) had another juvenile Honey-buzzard present from 11:25-11:45, soaring from 11:36-11:45 to tremendous height and disappearing, almost certainly an emigrant; the rugged habitat is shown here (9318) |

At Seis E had 5 raptors of 4 types up together at 11:06: the dark-phase juvenile Honey-buzzard, a male juvenile Goshawk, 2 Common Kestrel, 1 Common Buzzard. They were joined by an adult female Goshawk at 11:10 who spoilt the party by doing some threatening powerful soaring. Here are the piccies of the Honey-buzzard up on own at 11:06 , with Common Buzzard at 11:06, with adult female Goshawk at 11:10 and shot of habitat . The Honey-buzzard floated around over the pasture in the gap in the cliff with the other raptors; it maintained this position in the presence of the juvenile male Goshawk but quickly went higher and disappeared when the adult female Goshawk arrived (9317) |

Then went to Telfen (NW of Seis) where walked to Laranz for magnificent views towards the Schlern mountain group. At this viewpoint a large brown shape was caught out of the corner of my eye on the E end of the pasture near the viewpoint, moving a little S by swerving into cover. The pasture runs down steeply towards the NW edge of Seis with Rung Puntschn woods, holding mixed conifers of variable age, on the S side. I didn't see the 'shape' again but what was obvious was the attention of 6 spaced-out Carrion Crow, all perched high on trees in the area and making angry calls from time to time. They slowly moved W so presumed they were watching a juvenile Honey-buzzard keeping very low in the ample cover. The juvenile Honey-buzzard did give the chicken call once at 57s on the clip, with Carrion Crow calling at the start; I give a quick summary to my elder sister at the end of the clip. Some piccies of the habitat are shown here (9316). |

This is not a new Honey-buzzard site, being the one identified in Seis W on 25/8 (9311) and 27/8 (9313) at about 1120m asl; the sites found complete a circle around Seis am Schlern. Did take some piccies of suitable habitat for Honey-buzzard at Katzenloch, 1km N of Telfen and 1.8 km N of Ring Puntschn, height 1100m asl |

Honey-buzzard survey continues to go well, getting another juvenile in the gap between Ratzes at 1300m asl (Seis E) and Bocia de Mont at a peak marked 1753m asl; suspect it may have been bred a little further E in Schmung Schwaige area at 1811m asl; this one was up at 11:39 doing flap-flap-glide through the tops of the tall conifers on the ridge before coming down on pastureland behind; another juvenile was up floating over the ridge a little to N where the Hobby were seen at 12:12; some habitat shots were taken (9315). This is the 5th site found, did not expect such success at high altitude. There was plenty of pastureland between the wooded areas, some of it being actively worked for winter food for the cattle |

Final raptor was another juvenile Honey-buzzard to NE of Seis at 12:21, a new site Marinzen (1400m asl), with intimate mixture of alpine pasture and woods with tall spruce. The dark-phase juvenile was floating low-down over the edge of the high wood, possibly also in (9314). |

Had to wait for one hour before the family party emerged over Rung Puntschn, a female Honey-buzzard together with 2 dark-phase juvenile. She kept above them throughout the flight from 11:29-11:33 with the 2 juvenile keeping close to each other initially well below. At the top of the soar the 3 birds all met together before diving back to ground again. One of the birds was captured low-down over the nest-site wood at 11:35. Piccies are here of birds, coming down into habitat with further shots of habitat taken earlier (9313). |

a dark-phase Honey-buzzard juvenile, brought the Common Buzzard up in the air by flying through their territory. The Honey-buzzard was floating over open pastureland complete with musical cows, which looked a little brown, maybe past its best for the cows, and was clearly foraging at 1780m asl. Have some piccies of the bird and the habitat, which looks able to hold Honey-buzzard if there's a mixture of tall trees and pastureland in the area (9312). The site is 4km from Seis am Schlern E so just about room for another site between them. Wonder how high they really go! 1800m is 6000 feet! |

Two more medium-sized raptors were up together at distance to the W of Seis at 12:24: a female Honey-buzzard, soaring high and another smaller bird in the haze, a weak-flying juvenile, keeping well below. So this is another Honey-buzzard territory, c2.5km W (classical spacing) of the other site on the W side of Seis, in a large conifer plantation near Rung Puntschn at 1120m asl. The habitat is shown here from long-range (9311). |

Today's first star was a juvenile Honey-buzzard in Seis am Schlern, on E side in a craggy area near Ratzes at 1300m asl, covered in tall spruce trees with much pasture on NW side. The dark-phase juvenile flew across the valley from E to W at 11:31 landing in some dense vegetation on the W side of the craggy gorge (9310). Suspect that as long as there are the upland summer-grazing meadows and some trees around, Honey-buzzard will not care too much about the altitude. Had a walk mid-afternoon, up to the presumed site, where near the top of the ski-lift heard 3 chicken-calls from the juvenile Honey-buzzard from a Scots Pine plantation. This is confirmed breeding, amazing for a day's work in a completely new area! |

The Honey-buzzard scene is particularly interesting as the birds are behaving much like those in Northumberland by 10/9 (so 2 weeks earlier here) with the juveniles left alone in their territory and continuing to forage there for a while. The behaviour of the one soaring family party with adult and juveniles up together is also similar to that in Northumberland. The false statements that juvenile Honey-buzzard once fledged do not remain in their breeding areas are based on 1) misidentification of juvenile Honey-buzzard as Common Buzzard, 2) perhaps studies of isolated territories where surrounding habitat is more readily accessible without conflict: something that can only be corrected by an authoritative book on the subject! |

I didn't see the 'shape' again but what was obvious was the attention of 6 spaced-out Carrion Crow, all perched high on trees in the area and making angry calls from time to time. They slowly moved W so presumed they were watching a juvenile Honey-buzzard keeping very low in the ample cover. The juvenile Honey-buzzard did give the chicken call once at 57s on the clip , with Carrion Crow calling at the start |

The Honey-buzzard scene is particularly interesting as the birds are behaving much like those in Northumberland by 10/9 (so 2 weeks earlier here) with the juveniles left alone in their territory and continuing to forage there for a while. The behaviour of the one soaring family party with adult and juveniles up together is also similar to that in Northumberland. The false statements that juvenile Honey-buzzard once fledged do not remain in their breeding areas are based on 1) misidentification of juvenile Honey-buzzard as Common Buzzard, 2) perhaps studies of isolated territories where surrounding habitat is more readily accessible without conflict: something that can only be corrected by an authoritative book on the subject! |
