What's area? Can pm me if you like. Will it come to a dummy rabbit? Or a winged lure? Or even a fist with a chick?

Ok,gonna be heading out in morning with my own bird so will be extra vigilant around the area just in case.

With full crop I wouldn't say she'd be far. Hope he finds it. Make or female?

Dead give away is if straps Is hanging from it's feet. There are wild hawks ( buzzards) in Ireland so the pic that ape owners out up is the same as one that's missing

My friend was tipping on for 130km/h when i saw it... He wouldnt turn back for me to get a pic.

Ape Owners

Possibly a buzzard you spotted as a male harris would be a fair bit smaller than the above female.Try to get a pic anyway.
