This was around 1pm.<br /><br />Strange thing was I was at a car show up on the M11 business link trading estate at Castle Lotus and the bird started circling the busy area full of people and expensive classic cars on display. It seemed hell bent on getting to something on the ground. Only way to describe it would be like a hungry seagull intent on picking up some bread! I think people were worried it was going to land on a car at one point.<br /><br />Anyway after about 2 or 3 mins of circling and attempting to land between the parked cars it just landed on the concrete and casually started wandering about. Appeared quite tame and was letting people get within 5 or 6 feet to take pictures. Didnt realise what it was at the time but an internet search revealed its quite rare?<br /><br />It had tags/rings on both legs too so assume it was the same bird as the original poster saw?<br /><br />How rare is a sighting?<br /><br />Will post this on a few forums I think as I think it was spotted a bit over the weekend. What sort of ground do they cover in a day?polly_xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937843617017049113noreply@blogger.com
