Raptor Quizz... specs in the distance! (1 Viewer)

Jane Turner · Dec 1, 2003

OK...I've dusted off a few more old slides and managed to put together another quizz 8 photos of dubious quality, all taken in the WP

Jane Turner · Dec 1, 2003

and the second set

Andrew Whitehouse · Dec 1, 2003

Jane you know very well that most of us can't stand IDing raptors from photos! Oh well, I suppose someone has to start:

1) Griffon Vulture
2) Black Kite
3) Kestrel
4) A dead fly on the lens. Or possibily a Golden Eagle
5) Red Kite
6) Bonelli's Eagle
7) Short-toed Eagle
8) Red Kite again

First stab

Set1: Griffon Vulture, Red Kite, Red-footed Falcon, Lesser Spotted Eagle

Set 2: Red Kite (again, confidence slipping), Gawd knows - another Griffon?, Short-toed Eagle, another flaming Red Kite

6/8 is the best so far and despite the supposed hatred of raptors, at least one person has managed to ID each of the 8

Gerry Hooper · Dec 1, 2003

O,k. Here Goes.
1 Griffon vulture
2 Black Kite
3 Kestrel (GTX)
4 White Tailed Eagle
5 Red Kite
6 Harrier
7 Short Toed Eagle
8 Red Kite

Jane Turner · Dec 1, 2003

I will removed number 1 from the running since it hasn't fooled anyone. Yes its a Griffon Vulture.

Jane Turner · Dec 1, 2003

There are two people with 6 right, and between them they have named all 8

Whoops one of those is actually 5, but the all between then rule holds

Jane Turner · Dec 1, 2003

I'll wait until Logos and Micahel F have a crack before spilling the beans. MF becuase he always does and logos becuase he's been viewing this thread as much as I have

logos · Dec 1, 2003

I'm just interested in what people say about the kites - I thought they were all Red Kites.

As for the rest...mostly I'd just be guessing, I'm a plumge feature rather than a jizz man, especially in pics.

Steve G · Dec 1, 2003

1=Griffon, 2=Red Kite, 3=Merlin, 4=Black Vulture
5=Red Kite, 6=Griffon, 7=Short-toed Eagle, 8=Black Kite
probably wildy wrong but I'll admit I love raptors.

Brian Stone · Dec 1, 2003

Merlin and Back Vulture were my first thoughts for 3 and 4 but for some reason I changed my mind. Looking forward to the answers or some clues.

Steve G · Dec 1, 2003

Still having nagging doubts about 8 being a Red Kite rather than Black.

Jane Turner · Dec 1, 2003

Ok then... still no MF... but here is bird 8 a bit bigger and with slightly more plumage showing

Steve G · Dec 1, 2003

C'mon Jane stop lurking & give us the answers-I've got patients to see!
