My apologies for not tweeting the Honey Buzzard flying north over Wakeham and Easton this morning. I thought I had, but my twitter account only works when I have internet access. I know not why, which is a shame as I had great views of it and it would have been nice for others to have seen it.
Here are a few images and a very very short video of the Honey Buzzard:
It was a real shame that I couldn't keep the camera steady. Unfortunately this snippet was best of a 40 second take.
After stabilising the video I have managed to get a slightly longer track.
Other Photos from today:

Well that cleared the air, with a dozen or more bolts of lightening, torrential rain and hail.
17:34 and the last bolt of lightening to the south of the island. Blink and you will miss it, you'll certainly hear it though.
