    Pallid Harrier? - Romania

    Smiths: But with the White bar in the underwing reaching the body and the face/iris of an Adult female... The black tipping on all fingers and overall colour and appearance rule out Pallid. In my book this would go down as an Ad female Mont's. Albeit a very fresh looking individ.

    Buzzard...

    I wasn't struck by an obvious dark tip, no. Also the white rump on lagopus is normally quite uniformly square, in my experience (this is not the case with your bird). I've been watching Rough-legs all autumn and have had learnt the ways to ID them on GISS at distance, their flight is also quite...

    Buzzard...

    Goshawk or Sprawk?

    Sparrowhawks (male and female). The birds next to each other is good for comparison, a Goshawk would be unmistakeable next to a Sprawk as they're huge! Also the tail is too long and thin compared to the body size for it to be Gawk and as mentioned previous the barring is wrong. The "fingers"...
