Wasn't sure enough to post this until I saw your BACK GARDEN 15-11-14 heading. I was in my garden yesterday lunchtime when a rather bedraggled, scrawny looking Buzzard sized bird flew slowly and low over the fields between The Glen and Booth Road, some tail and primary feathers were missing and the underside feathers were very light almost white coloured. Buteo Lagopus I'll never know, failing eyesight and no scope or binoculars to hand. Has anyone else seen a similar bird in the area, I wonder.?
