I was seeing what looked like a very pale Buzzard a few weeks back and there was another report but not on that side of the county.
Not seen a Rough Leg for 3 years but live in hope !
I have observed an unusual coloured buzzard on my regular walks on Reiss Beech dunes over the last six weeks or so, but find it incredibly difficult to get a decent picture of it showing it's true colours. I have posted a few photos on my face book page and the best likeness that anyone has suggested is a Rough Legged Hawk, (Buzzard). Has anyone else seen it or got a picture of it?

This is not one of my photos.

could be a young buzzard
The feed back that I am getting would suggest that it is a pale Buzzard, which side of the county is Hope, Lizz.
My first thoughts where a juvenile, but then I thought, "how long to they stay young" it would have to be at least 8 months old by now.
It certainly is a lovely bird to look at and see it take off, but not very cooperative when trying to get a good photo.

Great pics Kevin, thanks!
I've often seen him/her in the distance but not close up.
Looks very like what I was seeing Kevin.
Did you not know that Hope is a wee hamlet over here, very close to Faith and Charity
