The name says Sheffield but I'm actually South Wales based now! Also often seen at Southend, Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham.

Re: Can anyone ID this bird?
not sure but it could well be an opsrey unless it's an oddly marked buzzard, if nobody knows can i copy it onto a bird forum where an expert will soon say which?

Re: Can anyone ID this bird?
Thanks Andy, please do! Initially I thought it was a buzzard on account of it hovering on the wind. However the yellow beak and talons when I looked through the lens made me think otherwise. Then it landed and got in a staring contest with some sheep, I think I put those on my Flickr as well!

Re: Can anyone ID this bird?
It's a hawk not an Osprey or a buzzard. It's hard to tell from the picture but my guess would be it's a Harris Hawk.
These are two shots of a Harris that I've taken over the years.
