Wings didn't seem pointy enough.
Think they don't look pointy in normal flight, more when soaring. Hard to tell from a description on interweb :) Did it catch either of your mates? :eek:
I love this thread. You guys are fun. It's like Autumnwatch with proper jokes :)
yesterday we chanced upon rutting (fallow - I think) deer on the Wrekin; well, we heard them first. What a noise!
We got to about 30 yards, stood and watched, not much to see in the gloom really, but they weren't bothered by us at all, we ran on... to be buzzed a couple of miles later by bats. Did I mention the owls?
I saw a kestrel fighting with crows on ilkley moor today. I thought it was a sparrow hawk at first until it started hovering. Good to see though
Grouse, could it have been a harrier? (Hen harrier, not Wharfedale or wherever!) They don't have pointy wings - any plantations nearabouts?
Doubt it...I think the government have pulled all the Harriers out o'the sky:rolleyes:Quote:
