		All observers of Honey Buzzards are therefore urged to submit their sightings to the relevant county recorder to enable an authoritative assessment of the scale and causes of this influx to be properly documented by the leading British journals.

		The Honey Buzzard frequents woods, and especially those in which water is to be met with.
		Although it is beyond all question that the Honey Buzzard feeds at times on small animals, such as moles and mice, reptiles, birds, lizards, and frogs, and small birds, yet I feel convinced that insects are the food which is natural to it, and which it therefore prefers.
