Honey buzzard
This was seen flying over the border from Nottinghamshire through to Lincolnshire near Whatton?
Any idea what is it, thought possible honey buzzard but seems a long way from home |

Hmm, it dosn't look like a Honey Buzzard... more likely a Common Buzzard indeed.

Note in these Honey Buzzards, the overall shape, tail lenght and pattern on underwing.

And, visible on several of the birds Jan links to, the distribution of bands on the tail.

Honeys always put me in mind of accipiters when I see them (we're lucky to have a few breed near Scarborough), It's always helped me seperate them. Just a jizz thing I guess.
