Michael Geschlecht Posted November 6, 2018 Share #106 Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Hello Dunk, Sorry I missed that. So, Clarence is a buzzard. Curious name for a buzzard. Altho he does look like a Clarence. Best Regards, Michael Edited November 6, 2018 by Michael Geschlecht 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still using your PanaLeica100-400? dunk No, I sold it a few months ago. Now and then I regret it. I might consider getting the 50-200 at some point so I have a bit more of a range covered and it also takes the TC1.4 and TC2.0 which makes it more versatile. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinjun Posted December 6, 2018 Share #119 Posted December 6, 2018 The confusion lies in the different usage. In the US the word 'buzzard' is applied to what we in the UK would call a vulture. Our buzzard is a very close relative of the American red-tailed hawk. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
