    Wader in South Africa...

    Hi Andrew; Thanks for the super-quick response... If it is; it must have been VERY young! About the size of a Turnstone I thought. Certainly way smaller than an adult Blacksmith... But, there were many Blacksmiths around, so it looks like a good call... Thanks again... Lee

    Firstly - thanks to all for the input & commentary... Hello Valéry; Many thanks for your input; much appreciated... but... can I ask for some clarification please? I guess you're ruling out B. vulpinas (Common -or- Steppe Buzzard) on the grounds of lack of apparent horizontal barring...
