Observation details

The bird's flight call made me turn around to witness it flying relatively high across the marina heading east. The call was distinctly different to COTE, a deeper one-syllable kerr. The flight was observed to be less buoyant and more powerful than COTE. Evident even without optics was the much paler wings and primaries with a more orange tone to the beak. Other field marks evident on the photos show a long tail.
