Hi,
Need some help please with bird of prey identification. I live in Harlow, Essex and yesterday heard an unusual bird of prey call.
We often have red kites circling and are pretty easy to identify. The calling I heard yesterday was very different (which is why I noticed it) and lead me to go on to YouTube to try and identify what it was. It was reasonably high so I couldn't pick out anything by sight to help me.
The closest calling sound I could match it to on YouTube was a Red-tailed Hawk. I find it unlikely to be this bird. Can anyone shed any light on what this could be?
Thanks in advance.
