3 birds of prey and one big question ? (1 Viewer)

Mike Tom · Oct 15, 2017

The three birds of prey are from Eigg in summer of 2016. the two dark ones I think are buzzards. Is the one high in the sky also a buzzard. It is very light underneath? The final one was in Gran Canaria this February. I know young sparrows can be light and have pretty solid beaks as do waxwings and I think there are pink canaries there, but I obviously am guessing !

Thank you

I am sure the first 3 are indeed Common Buzzards, the last one is a Trumpeter Finch.

Yes, 3 Common Buzzards - look for the pale belly band that shows in all plumage variations.

Thanks guys. Very pleased with the Trumpeter Finch. I remember taking the photo, the light was so bright I could barely see what I was taking but I got lucky !
