New lifer — European Honey Buzzard (1 Viewer)

[mjohanning]

Managed to see two European Honey Buzzards flying over a cemetery during my lunch walk in Halle (Westf.), Germany today. It looked like a Common Buzzard or a Goshawk to me at first, but a birder friend of mine who had also seen a Honey Buzzard a few towns away confirmed it was a Honey Buzzard.

Really happy to have seen them They were flying quite high up in the air, so I only managed to take a pretty awful photo.

Yeh, a bit blurred and over exposed

It's not even blurred, I just had to crop it quite extremely. Hopefully next time I'll get a better photo!

Sorry , I clearly should have finished with a instead of a to show I was just teasing.
