Which buzzard? Spreewald, Germany (1 Viewer)

[Henry_Flower]

Hi, can anyone help ID this buzzard, seen today in the Spreewald, in Germany? I'm hoping it might be a honey buzzard (long wings?), but that may be optimistic!

Yes, it is a honey buzzard - eg pattern of barring on wings and tail. But it looks long- (or, rather, narrow-) winged chiefly because of the angle of view.

Great, thanks -- my first one!

I think you can just about see the grey face (=male) and yellow eye (= adult).
