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!

Welcome Louise from up in Caithness at the very top of Scotland, sure you will enjoy being here, we are a good bunch, always someone at hand to help out. Enjoy.

No problem, at least you found it.

I'd say sparrowhawk.

No, definitely a buzzard.

100% buzzard.
