[QUOTE="Barred Wobbler, post: 1324629, member: 69394"] My wife called me through to look at a TV programme this morning. It was one of those crappy property abroad shows, but it was featuring Los Alcornocales in SW Spain. The presenter was extolling the virtues of the area and the camera focused on some cattle egrets on the backs of some sheep as she explained that the area was home to some rare species of bird, such as the "Lion Buzzard". What exactly a "lion buzzard" is was cleared up as a shot of a gliding griffon vulture was shown. Don't expect anything in the way of accuracy in the way of any information these "educators" may impart. FOOTNOTE. The griffon vulture, [I]gyps fulvus[/I], is known in Spanish as Buitre Leonardo (Leonardo's vulture). Not quite "lion buzzard". [/QUOTE]
