Good luck tomorrow Jonny. I've not been there myself, let us know what you see. Honey Buzzard been sighted there recently so hopefully you'll see something interesting.

Clumber Park isn't far away - you might want to pop in there if you get chance:

It is worth noting that the views of Honey Buzzards at Welbeck are almost always distant and a telescope is a big advantage.

It's a good thing I am taking my scope then.
