Recent records in Gloucestershire.
| 30 November 2009. 34 buzzards today on a recently ploughed and sown (possibly winter wheat) field on the right-hand side of the road leading to Deerhurst. |
| 18th October 2009. Churcham House, An amazing gathering of 56 Buzzards in a single field. |
| 1st October 2009. Newport, Greenways, 23 Buzzards in one field today, including two birds that have almost completely white heads and underparts |
| 30th September 2009. Newport, Greenways, 29 together in one field. |
These reports are probably of birds hunting earthworms and other soil invertebrates and perhaps indicate a successful 2009 breeding season. Data being gathered for the BTO Atlas project shows that the spread of buzzards eastwards across England is still proceeding.
