Rarest wildlife sighting at Delamere?

Although they are considered common in the UK, we do have a pair of Buzzards in the area that even though I tend to hear them every day, I don’t always spot them. Their calls carry through the air and are one of the more distinct sounds of Delamere Forest. Another bird that I have only spotted once is a woodpecker, my head was turned when I heard it at work high up in the trees and stuck around to catch a glimpse.
