Buzzard ????

[donnyc 1,203]

Local landowner just told me he had seen a (Buzzard ??) on one of his fields with jesses on..He said it took off but only flew 20 yards ..I didnt think anyone flew them..Or was it something else? We have plenty of buzzards local so it must be something really similer any ideas? I know nothing about birds of prey

could be a number of things try get a better description of it or even better a picture. is there a local falconer you could maybe ask to have a look he/she would know straight away and maybe catch it up and get it back to its owner

some do fly bussards mate. do you have a location as i'm on the falconry forum too and could post it on there?

Possibly a red tail ,very similar to our own .

i have had two calls from guys off the falconry forum today.

one had lost a gosshawk not far from the site.

 

another had been to the site today on request and caught a sick ringed buzzard which has been taken to the vets and forwarded to the "raptor center" to be nursed back to health.

 

thanks from the above to donny
