I recognised a buzzard when I was 3 years old. I can remember it - standing in the kitchen, looking out the window, seeing one and saying "Oh, look, there's a buzzard". My mother can remember this too.
They were frequent sights at home when I was a child, but I haven't seen one as an adult.
So this morning, did I see a buzzard over my street in north east London?
It was already quite high up when I spotted it, getting higher and higher in slow circles.
One of the films I've found on the internet makes me think it might be. But there were dark tips to the under wings of the bird I saw which I can't see on the video.
Perhaps it was a gull, and just the angle of sight made the wings seem rounded? Do gulls circle upwards like that?
