Observation details
Ongoing bird. Seen several times in flight and perched in same area as yesterday. Despite missing several primaries and some secondaries bird flies well enough. In flight, has long/tailed, cuckoo-headed profile of a honey-buzzard. Appears to have six primary “fingers” and no distinct dark carpal bar - diagnostic of ptilorhynchus. Happy for any expert opinion as ragged wings and lack of familiarity with species is making confirmed identification tricky!
