Our female Honey Buzzard, Kim appears to have come to a sad end in the English Channel. GPS fixes for the period 25th to  29th May have put her in roughly the same location, at sea, about 20km SW of the Isle of Wight.  After such a rapid and faultless migration from the Ivory Coast it is particularly saddening that she should get into difficulties so near to home.

Bizarrely an adult male Honey Buzzard was retrieved alive from the Solent last year and was successfully rehabilitated and released.
