Over a mountain top in NW Sutherland today. There were two birds of prey, one was a buzzard but unsure on this one. No animosity between them! Any help much appreciated.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

David Bremner said: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. :)
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).
