Large raptor over Kings Lynn (1 Viewer)

[Robert_Scanlon]

One of my neighbors took some shots of a large raptor being mobbed by gulls as it flew overhead yesterday (I assume it was yesterday anyway).

Any ideas?

(there are a few other photos which I can post if required, but this is about the best one)

No. Looks like a prop-beaked feathertail glider to me :h?:

I'll post the rest of the photos, it looks very unkite-like in one or two of those...?

fingers crossed this works

well on one or two of these pictures you can make out something sticking out from the bill and that to me is a small kind of propeller has i can make out more than one along with the rigid straight body perhaps good in what it does but is far from looking the real thing thou certainly fooled your neibour I BET.

Yeah this looks wrong. Looks like one of those bird cams they use in the documentaries

 

[Andy Hurley]

It looks like its got wheels for landing too

First record for norfolk. Not twitchable...

Let's hope it is a propeller and not nesting material - bloody foreigners
