Buzzard

[Chocky]

I was on the estuary today and suddenly the seagulls went crszy so I lookedup because that's what you do when the gulls really complane and yes, there was a Buzzard. rather high but you can seeit clearly

That one has no chest markings, is it perhaps a young one Chocky?

I'm told it is a pale phased buzzard.
I captured one a while back and some then said it was a pale phased. I think I will look it up . This one is tatty well they all look tatty but his wing is torn.

edited for speling and addition

Have just looked on google and the adult common europien buzzard has a pale phase under wing

Thanks, There are certainly quite a few types of Buzzard, makes them very difficult to recognise.
