ROUGH-LEGGED BUZZARD

Off to Kent today with a couple of mates & our first stop of the morning was at Wraysbury in Berkshire where we saw over 20 ROSE-RINGED PARAKEET & a GREEN WOODPECKER , we then headed off to the Caple Fleet area of Kent where there were 20+ MARSH HARRIER on show , then the ROUGH-LEGGED BUZZARD came up but was quite distant but all the features on the bird were seen making it only the 2nd one that I have seen in Britain .
Also seen were 8 BEWICK`S SWAN , a Female MERLIN , a Female HEN HARRIER & a Female PEREGRINE FALCON , 5 RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE , 30+ GREYLAG GOOSE , 20+ BARNACLE GOOSE & a BAR-HEADED GOOSE !
We then went over to Elmley & saw 200+ GOLDEN PLOVER , 2 GREY PARTRIDGE & a LITTLE OWL
