Media notes
Best I could manage. These details stood out to me the most. Done in digital art program.
Observation details
I'm really not sure, some kind of large buteo. Had very long wings and a triangular tail that reminded me of SNKI. Thought it was an eagle at first but the bill was small and the tail was barred and not mottled. P10s were very short compared to 9 and 8. Bird flew very low over bus being chased by a singular COGR. Didn't look like any sp. I've seen before and there is no good match on Merlin which is why I'm making a note of it. When I get home I'll attempt to sketch it. EDIT: Poorly sketched and attached image. Maybe some phase of RTHA I am unfamiliar with.
