Short Note on Wintering Common Buzzard In last winter I saw one Common Buzzard near to my home (around 200 m distance), which was never seen during summer. Everyday this bird was mostly seen perched on the same tree on the top of the slope of agricultural land at Balkot, Bhaktapur. The bird was frequently seen searching prey over the agricultural field however I didn’t see any hunting attempts. After the winter (probably in second week of Feb) the bird left this area and never seen in spring and summer.   This year when I have returned back from the field after 2012 raptor migration count, the bird (might be same individual) was seen exactly the same location and seen mostly perched on the same tree which was used last year. In this location there are lot of crow’s nest and it was not seen the crows chasing the buzzard. It spent few weeks (7-8 weeks) with the crowd of house crows and disappeared from the 2 nd week of this February. I believe this common buzzard use this place
