Margaret - what did the photo look like without photoshop manipulation?
Is it just a black "blob"?
I would be interested as the indentification by Mark concerns me. Was
the raptor soaring/gliding
or was the bird moving rapidly with fast wing-beats?
Mark - to me, in the photo that Margaret took, the dihedral of the wings
seem to be too great for a whistling
kite, and the wing tip fingers seemed too long for a w/kite, especially
if the bird was just soaring/gliding.
No doubt I will be "shot down in flames" by the guru, but from the photo
(unless colours/markings could be seen)
my thinking would be along the lines --
1 - one of the harriers?
2 - square-tailed kite? -- eliminate as tail rounded and too long.
Comments please Mark. I'm waiting for the bomb to drop.
And yes, I thought those would be your Swedish friends. I could think
of Katarina but the others names evaded me.
Steve.
