Common Buzzard - 1 [East Ferry side going over the road]
Behind the Buzzard over the edge of the trees was a large sized bird,not a Grey Heron and not another buzz, it was bigger than the size of a Grey Heron. From where I was standing next to the small stream on East Ferry road it looked a pale colour with fair sized wings and was circling. I don't want to make a fool of myself so won't say what I was thinking it was. Maybe if others are in the area they can keep an eye out.
I was really pleased to get one Merlin but to get two made for the perfect day!
