Bird Hide / Buzzard? ( St. Ouen’s Pond )
While being in the bird hide at St. Ouen’s Pond a fellow bird watcher showed me a photo he had taken the day before. He said “I just could not believe my eyes for the size of this bird as it shot by the hide. I know it was a bird of prey but not the Marsh Harrier”.
After studying the photo along with another person we all went home. I looked up the bird in my books and came to the opinion that it was a “Rough-Legged Buzzard”.
Went to the hide today and the other person was there waiting to see if he could see this mystery bird and i mentioned that i thought it was this Buzzard and he said, “I came to that conclusion too”.
So we are waiting to see if Mike Stentiford will mention it in his blog in the Jersey Evening Post this weekend or next. In the mean time i shall be going to see if i can get a photo of this Buzzard or better yet a video.
Well the waiting is over and it was a “Hen Harrier” the photo looked like the bird was bigger but funny enough the Hen Harrier is smaller than the Marsh Harrier so mystery over.
It turned out to be a Hen Harrier not a Marsh Harrier or Rough etc.
It would be great just to see a Buzzard, sometime in February last year a sighting was taken of a “Sea Eagle” in the east of the Island, now that was described as a “Flying Barn Door”. As you say Mopinwil would be nice to get it on this site first.
It would be great to see that buzzard video on the Jersey Island site. I wish you luck. Then we can say you saw it here first!
