A couple of days ago I saw this bird of prey. It was very high ascending in a thermal bubble accompanied by several Honey Buzzards. I was hiking in the Alpilles, a tiny mountain range in the very south of France (near the Camargue) were apart from Honey Buzzards also Buzzards, Kites, Booted -, Short-toed - and Bonelli's Eagles regularly occur.
It may well have been a Honey Buzzard as well of course, but somehow it seemed a bit different.
I hope someone can help me with the ID, despite the abysmal images... (taken from a great distance).
Regards,
Frank
