This nest is on a private property in the Hoeksche Waard, Netherlands. The nest is located at a height of about 12 meters in a large conifer. This tree has been breeding for two years. Previous years there was a nest in another tree. The Common Buzzard pair laid an egg on April 2, but the egg broke on April 3 for unknown reasons. After 19 days of rest, on April 22 they had a second clutch and laid two eggs.

B8: April 22 egg, May 25 hatched (33 days), July 11 fledged (47 days)
B9: April 25 egg, May 27 hatched (32 days), July 12 fledged (46 days)
