Great footage of a “Bee Hawk” 🤩
More Oslo Honey Buzzard action this time from 2 days ago when the male arrived with some wasp comb just minutes after I arrived but then no more visits over the next 3 hours. Finding a wasps nest is obviously a very time consuming affair but the rewards are high.

Checked using thermal, great bit of footage from @tonymcguire1966 adults feeding advanced chicks. This is a fantastic bit of kit at this stage when we can’t check the nest incase the chicks leap early, welfare of the birds is very important to us.
