Identification |
---|
Flying away fast, only seen for few seconds before went out of view. More strongly contrasting carpal patch to underwings (I feel?). Received contrasting opinions from people, so would like a more definitive answer by the records committee as to whether this is Common or Eastern Buzzard. Thanks in advance. |
