Observation details

Continuing, flew in high from the north around 829am first spotted by Becky Turley; lofty, gliding, soaring flight, unmistakeable forked tail and patterning - all dark mantle and tail above, pale white head, body below, ander underwing coverts; dark wing tips/pimary/secondaries from below yielding a stunning visage. Did not perch during our sighting, floated off south as quickly as it came. BK got photos
