What a brat,

didn't give you a nice perch did he?

Lovely detail on the bird in both shots. I hope he chooses to share himself on a nice perch next time for you.

Thanks all for the comments, and thanks Thomas for the ID. Wasn't quite sure myself.

Sometimes they just choose the wrong perches! Still the bird is a beauty and very well photographed. I would disagree with the ID, I think it is a Rough Legged, light morph. The eye color is the give away there. But I could be wrong

I've added a third pic (fly away) to aid in ID. Thanks for looking and helping on the ID. Perhaps blurry pics aren't all bad...

I agree with Tim. Sorry, but no way this is a ferrug. It's definitely a roughie. He's a very light bird and probably an immature - which have very minimal light subterminal tail bands compared to adults. Nice perched shots.
