Red- footed Falcon across the way at Bure Park
At Great Yarmouth Bure Park on Saturday October 11th at 4pm, I walked to the river wall and just past the Children's playground, I walked 200 metres north to the concrete hexagon overlooking the riverwall joing Dave P and his wife. in the ploughed field, I spotted the fine juvenile Red- footed Falcon, grey-brown back barring, chestnut head white face with black mask, pale cream underparts with a shawl of streaking on the upperbreast. Sat about half way back. Occasionally it flew but unfortunately when it flew I was showing over peoiple the bird through my scope so I didn't get to see it in flight at all. It would have been nice to check the underwing, although I assume others have ruled out the lack of white auxillaries for the much rarer Amur Falcon.
