Observation details

Striking white at base of tail caught our attention. Flying with RTHA. At first we said "What the Hawk??" Jan had Bins on it and Kim 600mm camera lens. Ruled out Harrier. Got back to car and ruled out several others based on tail patter and under wings. Slightly paler head. In the field we thought maybe slightly smaller than RTHA. Photos at home on larger screen seem good match for Rough-legged.
