swanseajack 227 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks for all the replies, I dont have to eat my hat now...

Neal 1,873 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Although juvenile Golden Eagles have some white on the underwing I'd agree with the majority that it's a common buzzard. The outline and build aren't right for an eagle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coney 3 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 spotted this a few times, today was the first time I've managed to take some pics... been having a bit of a debate with my father as he's been saying it's an eagle of some sort ( he sees it all the time) now my opinion has been, I'll eat my hat if it's anything other than a Buzzard... Take a look for yourself, I don't want guesses as to what it is I want an informed opinion from those that know... ps it's a damm sight bigger than any of the buzzards around here... Any thoughts anyone ??? Great pic's.......I'd say a buzzard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
