Kestrel
Year: 255 (Honey Buzzard)
My experience of raptor watch points is usually pretty poor. I generally see just a few distant Buzzards and the occasional Sparrowhawk. Today was different, with lots of raptor activity despite the far from ideal weather. We had several good views of goshawks, and a close fly past by a hobby, but the best was left until last, a superb honey buzzard, not as close as we would have liked but still a decent view and clearly identifiable. A great way to pass 7 hours!
