Ask an adult
Tail shallowly forked; the fork closes and looks straight when the tail is fanned
Constantly twists the tail from side to side like a rudder while gliding
Wings held bowed and kinked at the carpal joint, not flat and stiff like a buzzard's
Uniformly dark brown body with a pale window at the base of the primaries below
Dozens circle low together over rubbish tips, harbours and abattoirs; not a solitary raptor
