    That does not look anything like the buzzards we have in these parts (they are ugly!). Yours looks like a very noble hawk. Great picture!

    I think we went through this last year. It seems the Old World refers to hawks as buzzards. While the New World uses buzzard in reference to vultures.

    If you scroll down to the "common name" part, there is a quick explanation.

    I'm an indifferent birder (but trying to improve) but it looks like buteo buteo, to me.

    According to the entry 'buteo' on Wikipedia:
    "In the Old World, members of this genus are called*"buzzards", but*"hawk"*is used in*North America."

    Two countries divided by a common language (can't remember the attribution).

    Per, that is phenomenal! I looked at the EXIF data and I was even more impressed when I saw the shutter speed and ISO. What lens were you using?

    I was. I just checked and it was George Bernard Shaw.

    Or Oscar Wilde....

    Apparently GBS didn't write those words anywhere and Wilde only wrote something similar (but not the same).

    A good rule is that anything witty said by anyone anywhere can be attributed to Oscar

    Amen to that. Perhaps we ought to stop hijacking the beautiful photo thread and start a favourite Oscar Wilde quote thread!
