White Buzzard: is this the same bird?

Excellent bird artist / birder Mike Lawrence sent me a photo of a very pale Common Buzzard he's seen a few times around his Trimingham home: here's his e-mail

Hello David,

Hope you are keeping well, noticed on your blog about a Pale Buzzard and wondered if this photo attached is the same bird? There has been a few pale buzzards passing through here over the month but none so striking as this bird which has been touring along here and further up the coast. I photographed this on the 24th April.

Take care and best wishes

Mike Lawrence.

I reckon it's the same bird doing the rounds: as I mentioned to Mike, I bet there'll be a few 'small Eagle' sightings in Norfolk this Spring!

'My' Buzzard
