Mel, I'm quite positive that this dove you are referring to, is a mourning dove, and not a Eurasian collard dove.

This one (below) is a Eurasian collard dove.

Leopard & cub. This has been on my wishlist for many years and I finally got this sighting (and thankfully this shot too) in the Masai Mara last month.

Does not look like any buzzard that I have seen. Sure it is not a different kind of raptor?

In the UK, the word buzzard denotes to the genus Buteo. This is the same genus as many of our soaring hawks, such as our commonly seen red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). A buzzard is not a vulture, but rather a hawk, the most commonly seen European hawk. In America, we've frequently adopted the term buzzard as the same thing as a vulture. It is not an accurate term.

Often mistaken, but never in doubt.
