The glass is half full, but the bottle is empty.
Seen in Zeeland, Holland on 1 February, this bird was hovering over scrubby bushes and the wing action was much more rapid than I'm accustomed to seeing in a Common Buzzard. My companion thinks it's a Rough-legged Buzzard but I don't have any recent experience of this species. I was, however, left with that very strong feeling that it wasn't right for Common Buzzard. Comments, with reasons please, gratefully accepted. Sorry for the poor quality of the images but I hope they might be good enough for a positive ID.
