Buzzard


Buzzard ...........Buteo buteo

I have been trying to get a half decent shot of a Buzzard and till yesterday have failed. Generally Angie spies one on a post and commands me to stop the car and she is out of it like a greyhound coming out the red box. The same thing happened yesterday but the Buzzard was probably having a rest and gave me ample time to get out and photograph it. ...a few minutes later in the air he/she was being mobbed by thirty plus Corvids. No wonder rests were needed after meals.

    I've never managed to get one resting like that.

    It is the first one I have managed not to spook.
