Took some really shit pictures of a bird. Can anyone identify it? I think it’s a buzzard but I’m not sure.

1. I’m no expert, but it’s definitely a bird

2. Buzzard, deadly and efficient hunter. Can see a bottle of buckie being opened from over a mile off, that good.

3. It is a common buzzard 👍

4. Buzzard! You can tell by the colouring under their wings

5. Google images would suggest buzzard, I also thought maybe colour was off nd it could be a red kite but I think buzzard. 

6. it’s a **Belfast bird** named after the famous B**elfast bap**

7. Buzzard. Had three of these circling high over my house on Sunday until a crow chased one of them away.

8. Lesser Belfast shite hawk

9. Yep, that’s a Buzzard. For future reference, if you take lots of photos, there’s r/UKBirds and r/OrnithologyUK

10. Definitely a buzzard, and pretty good photos for a bird that I usually see quite high in the sky.

11. That’s a buzzard

12. Defo a buzzard. They eat mostly Road-kill of which there is plenty. I don’t believe they are raptors like other hawks but still impressive to see.

13. It’s a Guinness Fowl

14. Definitely a Buzzard. Beautiful bird. I love them.
