Camera Critters #4 - Buzzard
I grabbed this shot one day on our camping trip. The buzzard was a regular visitor to the field and had just delighted me with a close fly over. He hovered over my head for ages and I allowed myself the pleasure of just watching before I decided it was worth a mad dash for my camera and a quick lens change. My big lens takes better shots from the tripod as the small movements of my hand and breathing make for blurred images but I was pleased to be able to get this anyway.

Are they edible?
ReplyDeleteHello! It is edible although apparently considered bland by the western market. In China it is valued as both a food and medicine.
ReplyDeleteIt is also very pleasing in the tactile department; they feel soft and silky due to the downy hairs on the outside of the cap.
