Buzzard

A very decent shot. I've yet to get anything like this with my vulture friends. But then I only have a small digital and a mobile phone!

Cheers Andy............I'd love a longer lens but I can't justify the cost at the moment given the relatively small amount of time I spend shooting wildlife. I'll just have to keep figuring out how to get closer..!!

An international difference -- when I saw this I thought "That's not a buzzard, it's a hawk." I did some googling, though, and It turns out that in the New World buteos are considered hawks while in the Old World they're considered vultures. Here, if it's white underneath it's a hawk.

A great shot either way.

Interesting John.........I had no idea about that. Glad you like it though.

Every day's a school day on IP :-)

Great inflight action shot. Well done Keith Regards Tess

Thank you Tess..........you're very kind.

I often see Buzzards but not often with any light on them - this is a good shot taking advantage of the light on the underwing
