    Help ID raptor silhouette (video) - Portsmouth, UK

    Video of a raptor riding a thermal this morning. Hovering above town. We normally dont get large raptors in this area. Only the odd sparrowhawk/peregrine falcon. It was flying quite high (video zoomed in 12x on phone camera). I am guessing red kite but need confirmation. Thank you!

    I couldn't resist photographing the sunrise on a misty and overcast morning while out birding. The tree in the shot is from the secondary forest.

    A winter thrush

    This replaces an earlier version, in which the bird was exposed normally. Apologies to the four people who had taken the trouble to leave comments on the first one. The species isn't obvious in silhouette, but it's a rather distant Redwing, probably the last until next winter. Thank you for...

    I'm uncertain if photos without clear details are encouraged. Will take it down if it goes against the rules.
