Raptors Buzzard North-African Long-Legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus cirtensis) Cabranosa Algarve Portugal 13/10/13

Record Shot of : North-African Long-Legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus cirtensis)
North-African Long-Legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus cirtensis) possibly seen at Cabranosa, Raptor Watch Point Sagres, 13 October 2013 11.42 am

Two soaring buzzards showed briefly over the raptor watch point as we arrived on the hill on Sunday 13 October, before heading off towards Val do Bispo.

Of the two one was much lighter coloured with a rufous hue.
I managed to get a couple of shots of these high flyers, before they soared out of sight.

The lighter bird was thought to be the North-African Long-Legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus cirtensis) which had been sighted the previous week and is subject to a record submission to the SPEA (Portugese Rarities Committee).

Dois urubus subindo mostrou brevemente sobre o ponto relógio raptor que chegamos na colina no domingo, 13 de outubro, antes de ir para o Val do Bispo.

Dos dois era muito mais leve cor com um tom ruivo.
Eu consegui um par de tiros destes altos flyers, antes que dispararam fora de vista.

Este é o pássaro mais leve foi pensado para ser o Buzzard Longa-Legged Norte-Africano (Buteo Rufinus cirtensis), que tinha sido avistado na semana anterior e está sujeita a uma submissão de registro para a SPEA (português Rarities Comitê), através da equipe ecológica Strix.
