My mature avocado tree is dropping all it's leaves

I haven't seen it do this before like this. For a week its been a steady flow of leaves hitting the lawn. I raked it off five times now. What is left on the branches are a massive amount of buds which look healthy as can be.

Is this normal? Anyone?

Do you mean you raked the leaves out from under the tree? Best to leave those leaves where they fall. They are mulch and contain vital nutrients for the tree.
