Hi all
I was driving in the Singleton area [near Blackpool] and spotted a large bird overhead. It was soaring and it was a large bird of prey. It wasn't possible to stop, but as I drove under it I saw that it had white 'bars' on its wings. I thought it was a buzzard due to its size, but looking it up in a book, the nearest bird I can see to it is a Red Kite.
The book doesn't show Lancashire as a Red Kite area, so am I likely to be mistaken? Is it just wishful thinking?
