Harris x Buzzard hybrids in the wild.

    My computer does not open the link for some reason but we had a similar case up here in N.Yorks when a similar pair nested locally near to one of our local ringers and recorders and reared(I think)3 birds.As quite a few falconers birds escape to the wild I wonder how often this happens

    Hi mpiekp

    For some reason it won't play for me either.

    I went to ITV.com, and played something else, but I can't play your clip.

    Anyway, apart from that it looks like an interesting story of a Harris hawk pairing up with a Buzzard.

    Best wishes Chris
