Notes:   We head the call yesterday afternoon for a while when we realised it was none of the usual bird calls. Eventually we found it in one of the very tall trees. Soon after there where two. The second being slightly more grey coloured. The one bird seemed to gave a red tag on its leg. This morning one bird returned and I could take pictures.
