Details COMMON (LARGE NUMBERS)
Notes First glance - a blue vulture! Poor guy - pretty ugly at the moment. Does anyone know why some are like this? I've read conflicting theories...... nestmates pecking them, infestation of mites, a "bad" moult, poor nutrition, etc, etc. Anyway - this guy comes every day for peanuts - finally got a picture of him in my neighbours little oak tree. His feathers have grown in some - he was totally bald a couple weeks ago. There's another that comes that has about 1/2 it's head-feathers. joanne
Weather sunny - about 25C
