i was wondering if any 1 can tell me what bird i have been seeing over the last 5 months or so.

there are no pics but i will try to describe it.it looks a little bit bigger than a buzzard when standing it has a very light coloured chest almost cream in colour. the cream colour seems to be a bit uneven around the edges and its body colour is a light brown colour with lighter bits running through it. i have seen it around just 1 field and it seems to allways be there either sitting on a fence post or sitting in the middle of the field.its head seems to be a light colour aswell .any ideas what bird it is.cheers ..KING

a light coloured buzzard !!!

i have seen loads of buzzards swanseajack and watched a few with binoculars over the years they seem to be a golden brown rusty colour.but this bird is very light in colour for a buzzard it may be a buzzard but it dont look like a normal coloured buzzard

did it have a brown tail as it could be a red kite

sounds like a female redtail.....and yes they do go missing

there is a female buzzard down my way that is a very light almost white couler mate so it could easily be a buzzard .............

I spotted a bird year's ago near me and i did not have a clue what it was.. i spoke to a local lad who is a twitcher and he said it's a marsh harrier it's been seen a few time's latley..

Have a look at the link mate and see if it's anything like this one..
