Message: <blockquote data-quote="Earnest lad" data-source="post: 2854403" data-attributes="member: 148241">Himalayan BuzzardDear RichardThank you for your kind prompt and most helpful reply.As the view of the bird was brief (from the car as we passed by - the bird was perched in a tree) I cannot be certain that it was a buteo species.Furthermore I am not an expert on birds. Your helpful information leads me to the conclusion it must have been a non-buteo species of raptor. Nonetheless I still consider your reply helpful in the process of elimination that one sometimes goes through in order to arrive at a conclusion as to what species has been seen .With best wishesIan</blockquote>
