Golden Eagle or Buzzard?

Quite similar in size. Further on in the walk I could hear a raven calling below me. Seems very likely what I photographed was it. Many thanks. :)

Many thanks. I could hear a raven calling further on in the walk. I would imagine it was the bird I photographed.

Thanks for your help. I certainly heard a raven not long after taking the photograph.

Hi, thanks for your help. Pretty sure now it was a raven. Could hear one below me further on in the walk. Very possibly the same bird.

Ravens are actually slightly bigger than buzzards - technically, they're our biggest songbird!  Not that their song is up to much - but their repertoire of noises is impressive (and occasionally adorable).

Thanks I will remember that for again. Perhaps that's what fooled me at first. Being in eagle country may too have had my expectations raised! I also met a ptarmigan but even to this amateur it was very recognisable. :)
