WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2020

I made a friend. Our garden is so full of them it's the first thing you hear when you go outside! I love them so I'm happy to share the garden... unless I'm missing something and they aren't good for any reason! I have a close up photo too but it doesn't want to load sorry

 

I'm fully aware it's a poor quality photo but any idea what this beauty is? We have a lot of them around here and I have come to the conclusion it's either a buzzard, a kestrel or a hen harrier. Whatever they are, they are beautiful and make a lovely sound. X

 

It could be a red kyte because of the markings on the under wing.

 

Ooh good shout. I need a better photo really or to see it up close but I can't see that happening haha x

 

The photo looks fine to me.

 

Ha amazing! It must love her. They are so crazy and wonderful to look at zoomed in. X

 

I think it's a Buzzard Lizzie and their call sounds mournful. Red Kites have forked tails.

 

Mournful sounds... aw, it makes me think of them as kind of poetic or something (I can't think of the right word!). Maybe I could identify it by sound... I'll get watching some youtube videos of each bird! Well that's my next Friday night sorted haha x

 

I see quite a few here where I live.

Here you go @Lizzie Rose ....

That's the one you're amazing, thank you!

 

Thank you. I see them along with Kites regularly, so they're not hard to identify.

 

Shiney, is that a young thrush?
