Got an email back and the description sounds good although the person was driving and couldn't stop (I think I would have done an emergency stop!). Location is from A660 travelling towards Leeds just before the Cairns and Hickey shop. Seen 2.30 on Tuesday. Going to have a look in a mo.
Last confirm record is from Flamborough on the 30th of July 1981,there's also a record of a bird at Wheldrake in October 1994.

Thanks for making the effort Linda.
Thanks for that. Looking at the photos on the internet, it could well have been one. I'm going to try to get over there again to have another look. If anyone wants information about where to look then PM me for details
Scar House Reservoir is good but it could be a little early for them. Looking on Birdguides it seems there was one photographed in Roxby back in Feb so it is possible.
Linda,if it is the bird I am thinking of it wanders upstream as far as Killinghall bridge/Ripley.We see one matching this on a regular basis but can only make it into a very pale Common Buzzard. Not as pale as one seen above Gouthwaite last week,almost white gives a few of our members a headache i.d.ing it at times,keeps them looking !!
A friend who uses 'Twitter' has noticed that there are postings claiming that there are Peregrines on York Minster. Is this true and if so is there any particular part that I should watch? Thanks for any help.
