In the afternoon a minimum of 17 Buzzards were visible at one time (15.00) around the Country Park. Another Curlew went thro' in the late afternoon.

Are 17 Buzzards visible at one time a record amount ? In February 2011, 19 Buzzards were visible at one time over Elsecar and Rainboro Wood.

Concensus seems to be that 17 is a record number visible at one time from Anglers CP Hill.
