They used to be called Lammergeier. No idea why some bureaucrat decided to change the name. Seen them a couple of times in the Pyrenees and Switzerland. It's been causing quite a stir on the Twittersphere.

LOL, my ears are burning again ! Got to wait in for electrician who's calling in anytime but we'll definitely consider going if we get chance and hope it stays at least another day ! Just a hop along the road near Congleton. We live on the Congleton Road already !
