Hello me again, just saw a bird of prey flying over my garden. I was able to watch it fly for around 1 minute, but couldn’t see much detail as the sun was too bright. I have a pretty good description for the flight pattern so I hope one of the experts may be able to help me. This was spotted above my garden which is in a rural village.
Flight pattern: Around five fast but relaxed wing beats before soaring for a few seconds. Occasionally, it would go upwards, like a wood pigeon does, but would return to soaring. Darkish brown colour
Any ideas are appreciated, thanks Ellis
