Birds 4ever
Is it just me or do non-birders see rare birds you
Hi, this is my first post! Yay!
Anyway, I'm only a teenager, but on the 13th of August, in Bristol(more sort of wood/field area, not in the city centre) at about 6 in the morning, I saw a raptor.
My first inpression was a BUZZARD! BUT NOT A COMMON!
It had more sort of rectanglish longer tail than common buzzards....
But I only saw it gliding for about 2 seconds and the light was poor so I did not get anymore details....
Was it a honey buzzard? But not many books say that you can find them in Bristol, and THEY ARE NOT COMMON BIRDS ANYWHERE!
What do you think? If it was one, it would mark my 122th british bird....:eek!:
