Hi Guys,
Just got back from visiting one of my favourite Buzzards in the neighbourhood. Usually this guy tends to perch on anything that's metal, from parked cars to laternpoles, so i was very happy to spot him flying off to this wooden perch for a change!
Greetings,

Nice one Jeroen..... only very minor nit is the bg transition halfway up the bird, but the transition is so smooth it hardly matters...

Hi Jereon,
I dream of getting a Buzzard image like this!! Can't get near to these without serious staking out and a serious amount of time which unfortunately I don't have Maybe one day I'll get lucky

Very nice image, would prefere a 'top' to the picture but the bird itself is great.
