I was just going on the tail length and wing shape, which is not really right for Buzzard. When Keith had a look just now his first comment was a harrier of some sort - possibly Hen Harrier, but I've had a look at the BirdGuides DVD and I'm still going with Sparrowhawk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-29473231911491291262008-07-30T14:55:00.000+01:002008-07-30T14:55:00.000+01:00Hi Digi - hope you had a good time in Norfolk :)Sp...Hi Digi - hope you had a good time in Norfolk :)<BR/><BR/>Sparrowhawks and Buzzards are around in W.
