Help please!! Bird identification

Hi Lottielouise, Lovely photos, it looks like a Common Buzzard to me. Their plumage can vary from quite dark to lighter plumage which yours seems to show.

Hi Hazel,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply, it’s very much appreciated!

I took the still photos from the video I had taken of the bird, which I couldn’t upload here, hence why the photos are a little blurry.

Such amazing birds and a real treat to see so close : )

Thank you once again for your help Hazel and enjoy your weekend.

Hi Lottielouise, if you wanted to upload vid you need to do it via a link to a Youtube url, and as Hazel says, a buzzard... nicely captured :o)

Hi PimperneBloke, thanks so much for your message and for the useful tip, I appreciate it : ) First time to the Forum, great to connect with the community!
