    I saw this bird this morning on farmland where linnets yellowhammer redpoll and corn bunting have been spotted recently. Doesn't quite fit the description of any of them to me. I would appreciate any help...

    I assume this is a common buzzard that I often see in farmland on my daily walk in Cheshire- am I correct and how would I know if it is a male or female please. Thank you!

    In reply to Skye:

    Afernoon Skye - no, not near Newbury. We're in Somerset, on the edge of Exmoor. (Thanks for the freinds request - I worked out how to accept it!)
