| Juvenile Honey Buzzard chasing a very pale juvenile Common Buzzard. Digi-scoped at distance. |
 |
| Pale Common's don't come much better than this. |
 |
| Unlike some very pale birds it lacked white in the forewing. |
 |
| 2CY - outer three primaries are juvenile. |
 |
| Same as above - extensively white forewing |
 |
| Juvenile buteo - better marked but still with a very white head. I think it is more likely to be a Common than a Steppe. |
 |
| 2CY - outer two primaries are juvenile. A fairly pale bird overall. |
 |
| The broader wings/hand and more thick-set body of Common compared to Steppe is quite evident with this bird. |
 |
| 2CY - P8 half grown and P9-10 juvenile, also several juvenile secondaries. Broad wings and stocky body evident on this bird also. |
