Long-legged Buzzard? (1 Viewer)

[Michał Jaro]

Hi
when I saw this bird on the monitor, I was disappointed that it looked like a common buzzard. In the field it seemed much too big to me! it also flew slowly, with large movements of its wings. I will add that the tail coverts seem reddish
Why I'll try yet- isn't it Long-legged? Poland Podhale, cauple of days ago.

The size impression is often not reliable. So many people claim to see a harrier when a small Eurasian Sparrowhawk is holding the wings in a "V" position...
