Ste, you are talking about Cowm Res,Whitworth? Very interested about your sighting of Common Buzzard, yesterday.Were I sit at home I have a reasonable veiw over the southern end of the reservoir and must have been out of my seat as the Buzzard passed over! I last saw a Buzzard in the area in 2003,but, narrowly,missed out on one last year.You are quite right about Reed Bunting they did breed last year to the west of the res behind a ruined farmhouse in a newish plantation area.Well done on your sighting!
Dave Ousey.

Hi David

Yes was a good bird to see. I did see a Buzzard in Sept 2005 round res. That was very clear sighting as it went u on a thermal.

The odd thing is I live at the back of the res (east of) and am always surprised that I do not see the any Buzzards more.

Sad about the Reed Bunting lets hope for a return.

Thanks for the reply.
