It is very much appreciated.<br /><br />I may be wrong, but my belief is that buzzards and vultures share a lot behavioural traits... they both soar, circling high on the thermals, when 'hunting' for food, they share a similar diet, although European buzzards will catch and kill, they are partial to a bit of carrion, and 80% of the buzzards I've rescued over the years, have preferred to walk, or 'bounce', rather than fly for food.<br /><br />On a buzzard note, Luna, our European Buzzard, will be moving on to a new home on Thursday 1st November. She has recieved all possible treatment she can from me and since growing her feathers back, is in need of a lot more space. She will now display to school and college students, before being included in a breeding program aimed at decreasing the number of wild birds still being caught and used in captivity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710828019735703515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692250389062665906.post-29919953505108256012012-10-31T23:09:36.581+00:002012-10-31T23:09:36.581+00:00These photographs are really rather good.
