J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Only joking Moll, i think it could be a Buzzards maybe... The shape , size and colouration are perfect. Edited to add, can you not post a better pic as for scale for it might not be big enough to be a buzzards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
