Eagle in Norfolk ?

[Guest Ferret1959]

Bet it's somebodys Harris Hawk gone flyabouts.

[Guest Ferret1959]

Now bet it wasn't one of these was it????????

 

Crap photo but couldn't be bothered taking the class case off.

Red kite is extremely easy to identify from the other species mentioned as it has a distinctively forked tail.

 

I'd guess that it was a Peregrine.

Not far from the river Yare.

When you say the wingspan was 1meter, were the wing tips narrow or rounded? That will help Identify the bird

I think they were sort of rounded :confused: but also pointy :confused: :confused: rounded tips with pointy feathers :confused:

 

I have been going back to the spot for the last few days, camera in hand but nothing .

 

I really hope i can get a pic because this has started to bug me.

 

Thanx for all the replys people.

 

P.S... ferrett, can you post a bigger pic next time

I buggered up, loaded it straight from the camera before editing it.

I'm sure when Newt wakes up he'll play with it.

Sounds like the Goshawk.

 

P.S. Ferret, thats a cock sparrowhawk in the photo, not a goshawk, a goshawk is about 5 times the size

 

PPS. Probably just as well! Imagine the size of the Photo if it was 5 times bigger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
