Update on ‘missing’ or dead satellite-tagged raptors: buzzard, Angus Glens

In June 2012, Roy Dennis and friends attached a satellite tag to a young buzzard near Nethybridge. Named ‘Buzz’, he was thought to be the first sat-tagged buzzard in Scotland.

In August he set off on his travels and we were able to follow his movements via Roy’s Raptor Track website (see here).

Buzz didn’t last long. The last entry on the tracking website shows us that Buzz was on the NW side of Brechin in Angus (hmm, sound familiar?) on 19th September 2012. There are no further updates on his movements. Is that because he’s not moving anymore?
