A #birder question from a non-ornithologist which came to mind after hearing a #BirdNote segment on #NPR.
The piece reveals that some bird calls change over the years and others have been stable for millennia. One maybe 500kYrs.
That was seemingly deduced based on comparing calls of populations separated at a specific point in their history (prob thru DNA analysis).
So a #question…
My brain contains some random birding knowledge collated from goodness knows where.
Was walking along Llanberis Lake yesterday when my mate pointed out a black-and-white diver-like bird and pondered what it was.
From out of nowhere my brain said, "Merganser?".
I don't know when/if I've ever seen a Merganser before.
On getting home he Googled it, and yes, in all likelihood it was a Merganser!
Hey #Twitcher Mastodon, what did I manage to snap on my last cycle?
A very large bird with white stripe under its wing.
Edit. As people are pointing out,.it seems like a buzzard ♥️
