    Default Common Buzzard

    Captured this this morning flying over the park
    That is to say the Buzzard was flying. Had heard the comotion Half anhour earlier and thought I had missed it But I waited . I just knew t would come back and it did.
    A minute or two later a crow attempts to chase it away.

    Very nice - a lovely clear photo of the underside and the second one really gives a lovely feeling of movement. Well caught.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
