I have to agree that it looks like a Buzzard to me also.
Nice image of the Brambling considering the conditions.
We seem to have had a sudden influx of them here in the Midlands as there were 500+ in the Wyre Forest yesterday.
I was going to try and find them today but the weather is awful here at the moment. Torrential rain and very grey sky's.
Me thinks I am staying put.
