Observation details
Ca 1150, saw 1 circling near the visible peak of the Scratchgravels (and at about the same elevation), then moved off to the NW and circled on a thermal over the hills with 2 unidentified Buteos (one probably the RLHA seen close a few minutes before). Then at ca 1200, heard but could not locate another SACR N of the raised hill area in flight, very possibly above the clouds - a suspected migrant. The thermaling SACR may have been migrating too. Later, saw 4 SACR flying towards reach 3 from the E; they turned around and moved off to the south, apparently when they saw us. Detections (number 15-minute intervals in which the species was detected): 3 Flyover(s).
