Yesterday evening I saw this presumably Common Buzzard from far away deep into the huge restricted runway areas of Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam). In fact, it was so far away that it couldn't be seen by the naked eye. I only spotted it accidentally through my binos while following a Kestrel flying with prey. It landed on one of the tall (>40m high) concrete pillars of a jet-engine test construction.
Well, a Common Buzzard, but it seems slightly off. I'm a bit puzzled by its apparent 6 distinct fingers. But that's likely just a consequence of mould or the wing position (spread and/or curved in the images)?
