    Crap sorry! Why Buzzard so and no pic?!

    Sorry, too far away for my old eyes.

    I went for Buzzard simply because most ID questions I get about BOPs involve Buzzards.

    Friedcircuits - can you elaborate on the birds behaviour or what it was doing, how it was flying etc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 424 ✭✭stevensi


    That's a sparrowhawk in display flight. From around this time over the next few weeks you will see sparrowhawks doing their display flights looking for a mate.

    Where did you see it? Was going to say red kite as the tail looks a bit forked.

    Tail isn't remotely forked it's a sprawk without a doubt. Never seen so many in my life as I have this year. But bad side is kestrels numbers are way down and sprawk and buzzard numbers are up.
