Hi,The wing tagged Buzzard you sighted is one of mine which I tagged as a juvenile on the Wirral nr Raby June 2008,it has been around the Puddington area for a while
I'm in my 4th year of tagging Buzzards on the Wirral and lately radio tracking as part of a dispersal project, I have had some good dispersal movements into Staffs/Derdyshire border,North Wales and into Lancashire as well as birds staying local
All adults have pale green tags both wings with a digit and juveniles have a pale green tag on the left wing and an alternating coloured tag on the right to denote year
There is only two Buzzard wing tagging project in the UK, Argyle/Perthshire and Cheshire/Wirral

Roy was wing tagging in the Cheshire area 2000/2002

These aren't the only projects tagging buzzards in the UK. Eimear Rooney has been tagging buzzards in Northern Ireland since 2010, originally as part of a PhD study, but has continued after she finished.

Eimear uses a yellow tag on the right wing (for region) and colour changes every year.
 
Tagged BZ in NI

Here's a photo of one of the nests we have visited this year and Eimear tagged as part of her project.

Dave Anderson, who works for Forestry Commission, is wing-tagging buzzards in the Trossachs. Most likely to be one of his study birds.
