At around this time, having taken a call en-route to seeing this bird, I pulled into Burnthouse Lane where I knew there is lots of sky to look at. As I was looking straight up, the bird flew in very low from the SE and appeared to be coming down in AWE Burghfield. I had left my site pass at home, so was unable to go in and look, but a search in all the fields around the perimeter proved fruitless. Please only view from the public footpath.
