hotrod Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
