Bird Of Prey ?

[hotrod]

What kind of bop is black and brown ? A bit bigger than a crow ? I was thinking a Harris hawk ? Anyone ? This was spotted in a field right across the Clyde from dunbarton Rock eating something ,I was on outside lane on motorway so couldn't stop for better look or to see what it was eating .crows were all sitting round it close enough but far enough away sort of thing waiting on any scraps .hense a bit bigger than them ?

Very Difficult to identify nowadays Stuart with so many Hybred birds being released ,there has been one down here of same description as you state for over a year now ,I have talked to the bird of prey men in the town and they have not gave me a constructive answer ,Do know We have Sparrowhawk ,Goshalk,Peregrine,Hen Harrier in abundance even the osprey is a common site in these parts

The Peregrine activity has been the worst I've seen for 3/4 years at present its a lottery letting the doos out

Not scaremongering mate just telling it as it is

Is this it Stuart?

Is this it Stuart?

Looked more like an eagle 'big bold head . I've seen a Harris hawk up close a few years back ,but not sure if they were living wild in my area . Also seen the big big hawk fly over tonight carrying something underneath ,the seagulls were harassing it a bit but not too close . Buzzard like but much bigger and light coloured under its wings . Could this be a osprey ? It came from river heading up to the moors ?

Osprey very light coloured and short tail

Could be hen harrier as moorland is their habitat

Big bird forked tail
