I had a probably Honey Buzzard drifting south over malahide/Kinsealy. Original thought it was a kite given the length of the tail. But through the bins I could make out there was no fork and it was indeed a buzzard. I then noticed the head was dark and seemed a bit like a cuckoo's head. Went in to get my camera which was buried under the stairs and when I came out I couldn't relocate. Looked up a few pics and now I'm in the 99% sure it was indeed Honey Buzzard. Will keep an eye out the rest of the day in case it should pop back up.
