Common Buzzard

Thanks Peter.

There were Common Buzzards in HK with dark trailing edge to wing and tail.  On the field guide, they resemble Rough-legged Buzzard.  So be very carefully with that.  One can study this using "A database of the Bird of China" [url]http://www.cnbird.org.cn/first.htm[/url] or "Oriental Bird Image" [url]http://orientalbirdimages.org/.[/url]

Some of the photos of Common Buzzard found via the links look very different from what we usually seen.

Thanks!

It is also worth knowing that this feature is age related, adults have a neat dark trailing edge to the wing and also the tail tip; this is lacking in young birds.
