Fine idea for a foot thread mooted by Jomo on Zac's thread above (well done Zac and keep persevering on those feet- you will learn to love them for the poise and boinginess they give your birds)..
I fished this crumpled buzzard out of the bin before I left work, as it has a definitely simple foot (pic binned as there was a second one above it that went too wrong for even me to post- image was to be based on two which were gliding off over my house to look for worms early this morning). Looong time since I last saw a Buzzard in the air by 7AM.
Then I've stuck on a highligher pen/coffee autumn bluethroat just for fun and comparison- one with cautious hidden feet and one with incautious chickeny feet.
