Like Alan, I'd previously taken shots of the ibis in poor/dismal lighting conditions. Given the clear skies this morning I decided to head up to Druridge in the hope that it would be in good light and at a reasonable distance. My prayers were answered...
19:56 07/10/09 Honey Buzzard Northumbs Cresswell Pond NWT 14:25
south over the west side before heading southwest over Blakemoor Farm
For clarification the comment referred to above is:
''What's a Honey Buzzard doing on the Northumberland coast after persistant Westerlies. In fact, on second thoughts, lets not go there.''
Just to clarify that the comment was an attempt (a failed one it seems?) at sarcastically suggesting the bird was blown across from the SW of the county on these westerlies.
I even made a similar jibe while out on Newbiggin Golf Course yesterday afternoon.
I certainly wasn't questioning the bird.
about 3:40 coming from morpeth to ashington on the bus i saw large raptor in the sky over ALdi/woods.
Seemed at first to be a sparrowhawk, it was circling around, and i would have concluded female sparrowhawk. Then i noticed a bird mobbing it. Given the difference in side i first thought it was a swallow size bird, but then a flash of white made me realise it was a BHgull doing the mobbing. SO this raptor was some size, 1.5x - x2 the size of the bhg.
AM puzzled by this bird, seemed very large for sparrowhawk, but yet in wrong area for goshawk. Ive never seen a harrier drift in a circle on thermals, and the tail was too long for buzzard. Surely a migrating honey buzzard would pass straight through, not circle about perhaps on thermals.
Very interesting bird, but am stumped by it.
made me realise that summer has now gone.....(/play drumroll of doom)
