Me and my wife had our appetite whetted with a Peregrine and Marsh Harrier just out of our area yesterday so we went up to the good raptor spot at the top of the valley this aft. We were rewarded with:-
Kestrel x 4
Sparrowhawk x 1
Buzzard x 2
We were just heading back up to the car when my wife spotted the 'buzzard' soaring in the valley. A few carrion crows briefly mobbed it and it
It was very pale underneath. I got a couple of out of a focus shots as it passed over and flew strongly to the top of the valley. Are they enough for anyone to be able to give their opinion on the question I am obviously asking?
I am hoping NCD may have seen it as we had driven past him on our way up to the spot but he had gone on our return so hem may have missed it.

Certainly not a buzzard anyway. This bird on both shots shows something trailing from its legs but can't make out what it is from my phone image till I can get on it on the computer. Interesting and glad you got some shots off.
Looks like a Gos...................
H muxy can you give me a ring. Ive tried calling you but no reply, might have old number since you moved house.
It was extremely impressive and I think it was Goshawk but having never seen one could not be sure. It looks like the suspicious trailing object my scupper my life tick anyway.
Nick - yes changed house, phone and e-mail last year. Don't have your number. Please e-mail it to me on marvinmuxlow@gmail.com
My first though was gos, but it does look like its got jessies or a sat tag on...
