David Lillywhite and myself stayed untill 15:45 and the bird was in view for alot of the time giving extended close views through 45x wide - still hunting when we left. Looks like an adult female to me. |

Steve Routledge@s original directions - copied below for you Katherine. It is also seen a few hundred yards down the road - viewed from a five barred metal gate The bird favours a small valley to the east of Scamblesby village,go into Scamblesby off the Louth to Horncastle road(A153),then drive through the village until you come to a fork in the road,straight on is a single track road and eventually a dead end,take the left turn signposted to Burwell,drive up here,up a hill until you come to a cross roads,i parked here then looked down the valley roughly to the south east of the crossroads,this is presumably the start of the Oxcombe valley area, this is where the bird was hunting. |

After battling through the snow drifts on the Bluestone Heath road late morning, we were rewarded with distant views of the Rough-legged Buzzard in the usual area at about 11.55. Roy |
