Observation details
A lifer! Seen sitting in a tree. I enjoyed a superb view of the bird through my spotting scope. The tail band was just about visible, and the grey body colour and highly hooked bill were clearly visible. I took a photo of the bird while it was sitting in the tree, and have attached it below. After 10 minutes or so it took off and flew away. I watched it through my binoculars as it flew, and the black and white tail bands were clearly visible.
