Can some kind person please help me identify the bird in the following photographs. I spotted two large birds flying together inland on farm land and managed to capture one of them in these photographs. I know very little about birds, but I wonder whther they might be eagles. Please can someone help me...
Hi,
they look like Common Buzzards :))

Hi Twan
They are Buzzards. Broad wings with fingered, black edges and a short rounded tail.
Did you hear its call? High pitched and rather spooky. Look up the Buzzard on the RSPB website and have a listen to its call there.
Cheers

Thanks guys - thats great to know that its a buzzard, though a tad disapointing its not an eagle. It did look beautiful in flight and its call was a little spooky
thanks
