Over on this side of the pond vultures are often called buzzards,thanks in no small part to decades of cowboy movies. It wasn't until last year that a blog comment from a reader in the UK led me to discover that they're 2 very different species.
Are you still getting this crappy weather??? I'll send you some snow, no wait we do not have snow!! At least we can discover the treasure you have on your hard drive.. These are excellent shots Bob... I really do love your header!!
The Buzzard is: http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/b/buzzard/index.aspx and the Bustard : http://greatbustard.org/That is the difference Robert.
Same as in Roberts blog, Chip.

We are going a bit on the "good weather" sign, or that you believe the weatherperson, Chris. I'll send you a copy of the header, lol.

Very nice this vulture. Too bad with time and rain. It may rain during the week. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteSo what is the difference between a buzzard and a bustard to you Brits? and do you pronounce them differently.
ReplyDelete- from a curious and ignorant yank.
