We get quite a few Honey Buzzards , Marsh Harriers and Buzzards migrating over at the right time, and Red and Black Kites, Hen Harrier, Hobby, Merlin, Peregrine and Osprey are also pretty much annual birds ( though in much smaller numbers). If you're interested there's  more info including some photos ( 2 Hen Harriers with a Sparrowhawk! ) on my blog : <a href="http://www.skutchia.com" target="_blank">www.skutchia.com</a> Cheers and good luck !!David</blockquote>
