Seen at 06:45 this morning. Bird was mainly dark brown on top, pale, almost white underneath, with a thick dark band across its chest.
Apologies for the poor photo.  |

Hi there 667 ... 
Well ... kinda difficult to see just what it might be, but its upright stance might suggest it's a bird of prey. Was that the impression you got ... it might help narrow it down for someone if you could describe how it flew for instance ... or shape of beak? |

I didn't manage to see it in flight, but it did have a curved beak.
The most striking feature was its chest - a thick brown band separating a pale, almost white underside. I couldn't make out any speckling. |

I reckon a common buzzard as well....Your dog looks like he's a bit of a bird watcher as well. What was his opinion |

…iPhone camera, I'm afraid. Not much cop at the best of times.

She's fine as long as there's a clear escape route! |
