A pair have been recorded here several times over recent weeks and it is clear they are trying to breed again this year. The female was carrying food and reluctant to return to the nest, so I left the area to let her get on with feeding the young.
This species is a rare breeding species in Buckinghamshire, although much more common in the heathland further south in Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, etc.
