Notes:
The default large hawk in England. Very variable, occurring in a wide variety of light, dark and intermediate appearances that are individual based.

I have seen this species in:

The first time I recorded this species:
1st of December, 2007 at a Red Kite roosting location (Hampshire-UK). However, I certainly saw this species before this date.
