Honey Buzzard - 1894

Pernis apivoris

A rare occasional visitor, both in spring and autumn.

This is a tree-frequenting species, particularly fond of the beech, not likely to be often met with in Pembrokeshire, where we have only one record of its occurrence. We have been informed by Sir Hugh Owen that he saw a Honey-Buzzard at Creselly, in the year 1851.
