I saw Steppe Buzzards in Turkey too, more obvious ones with tails like a redstart....<br /><br />Nice blog, I used to fish too but only very rarely these days. I like reading about it though...<br /><br />Cheers StewartStewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985665182124985194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-85757438310664619372014-01-14T22:53:25.568+00:002014-01-14T22:53:25.568+00:00Stewart,

The top photo is of a Common Buzzard which was breeding near my daughter's village (in East Kent) - I took the photo in March 2012. The lower Buzzard is from Turkey and is (as far as I'm aware) a Steppe Buzzard. My use of these images was purely to demonstrate how little we know about the common species we encounter, yet all of a sudden everyone's an expert when something rare turns up.<br />Many thanks for taking the trouble to comment - all the best DylanDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-21081055918841373602014-01-14T21:49:45.073+00:002014-01-14T21:49:45.073+00:00Is that long legged buzzard Dylan?

Quite why my stance causes so much reaction is rather puzzling, but as I say, I will cope with that. Teachers getting offended by my voicing an opinion? I had very little respect, for the majority, whilst I was in education and nothing has changed in the forty years since I left.<br />I am still enjoying my blogging ans, for as long as that remains true, I will continue to air my views via this medium. I certainly don't go out of my way to seek controversy; somehow it just happens. What those who find my views offensive, or contrary to their own, should remember is that reading my nonsense is not mandatory and everyone has a choice. Good to see that you're enjoying your new found freedom - long may it continue.
