    Buzzard

    This Buzzard shot was taken in Dorset England 25/03/16 It appears to have a damaged tail and what I think is P7 missing would I be correct in thinking that this is a full adult or at least 4cy spring bird moulting it primaries and perhaps central tail feathers? Or is it just tail damage?

    Reed Bunnting Dorset

    Would this Reed Bunting I got at Longham Lakes Dorset on the 13th July 2014 be a female or a young bird in first winter plumage? Reading the information in my Collins Guide and Helm Guide I am thinking female but also wondered if this is what a first winter bird would look like?
