Or it just objected to your 'provocative' running :wink:.
Im not a 100% but I think we saw a Merlin just south of Cockermouth - I dont know if they are / can be confirmed that they are around there. It was smaller than a kestrel and flew fast chasing something in the air - very agile.
Again not sure what it was but saw a huge f*** off bird, much larger than a buzzard, brown in colour soaring high when we were driving up Hardknott Pass. Dont know what it was but if I was in Scotland I would have said it was a Golden Eagle - any ideas on what these may have been??
There are Eagles in the lakes so it could have been if not A Kite?Quote:

Im sure it was not a Kite - it was bloody huge and there was no 'V' in its tail - it was square, it was not like any of the Red Kites Ive seen in the past anyway - I was busy watching it and nearly drove off the road down a steep drop to our lasses horror !! lolQuote:
