h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have made a very rough start on an Entry about Common Buzzards just now A87923451 and plan to mention birds in the same family as well as other birds called Buzzards and more details about Buteo buteo specifically.

Do you have any photos you were planning to go with this entry?

We don't have any entries about buzzards so it has been hanging around. But I assume you've taken plenty.

Yes I do have a couple of good Buzzard photos that I had in mind to use for this Entry. bob's photo sounds intriguing, though - is it related to this one? A87910527

That's the one! I didn't realise he'd sent it to The Post too.

Aha! Interesting that it has much browner plumage than the ones I've seen up north A87913308 - I shall investigate that for my Entry

My uncle used to keep buzzards in his garden so I've held buzzards before.

Oh wow!

I think bob's buzzard is a younger one than the one in my parents' garden, so that makes sense
