Yes I know this pic needs clean-up. It's only here because there isn't other similar material - can be deleted if someone has better. JackyR 18:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Determination

[edit]

These are indeed Cape Vultures (and in no way bateleurs), your notes are correct. --Accipiter 22:24, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very many thanks. You'd think I could tell the difference myself, after seeing so many (the vultures used to hang out over Palapye - literally! You'd see them stacked in a thermal to scrutinise one section of bush, then the stack would disintegrate and reform over the next section of bush). And bateleurs are so distinctive when you can see them move. But I've forgotten plenty, it seems. JackyR 00:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
