Does anyone know if there's been published (or there are plans to publish in the future) a monograph-type book on the Common Buzzard?

And was I suffering from wishful thinking when I saw mention a while back of a Honey Buzzard Poyser monograph in preparation, as it seems to have disappeared from any list of forthcoming titles.

Any thoughts? Thanks
Irene

Irene,

NHBS lists a Helm HB monograph (Bijlsma, 250pp, c£25) as 'in preparation':

Curiously, Amazon UK lists a similar title, but published in 2001 and currently unavailable:

...for what it's worth, Amazon UK lists a very old book (Tubbs 1974, 192pp), from £15.99:

No idea what it's like...

Many thanks - will have to be patient on the Honey one and plump for the older Common one in lieu of a Poyser.

Cheers.

The Tubbs book is old but good. There's a chunky (nearly 30 pages) article by Robin Prytherch in the May 2009 British Birds on CB social behaviour, which at the outset acknowledges the Tubbs book.

There is a big paper in May British Birds about social behaviour of the Common Buzzard. Written by Robin Prytherch based on 18000 hours of observation.
