I think Billy meant Falco columbarius - Merlin.

latin is far harder im telling you...

[Chocky]

Your doing fine Billy

[dig deep]

Yes Billy, well done. Don´t worry about the Latin. It´s there because some bird do look the like but have a different name. In Latin it´s easier to separate them

[dig deep]

Nope

To both of You

[Chocky]

Hen harrier Circus cyaneus

[rolf]

Well it definitely looks like a Buzzard, with its light colouring and dark area on the body, I'll go for the Rough legged variety - Buteo lagopus.

[Chocky]

I think it's a buzzard too

I agree with that Rolf I think you are right

[dig deep]

Yep
