Buzzard and Rook!
I would like any comments on the composition of this as I'm aware the quality of this isn't too good. it's a major crop to about a squillionth of a pixel but it is the best shot i have of a Buzzard :rolleyes:

Hi Graeme,

I like this. I have been watching my local Buzzards this week and have seen them being chased by Corvids and also tumbling around with each other, all happening at fairly high altitudes so I know how difficult it is to get an image, but it makes great viewing :jump:

As far as the composition goes I think it works, you have space for the birds to fly into and they are not to tight.

Regards

Rob

Hi Graeme

Great bit of action with good wing positions especially on the Crow, which by the way is a Rook!

Despite the heavy crop, this is a fine shot. I haven't seen a better shot depicting this behaviour. In fact, I haven't seen many at all. It's an event most of us have seen, but I suspect few of us have managed to photograph it.

Gets a big thumbs up from me!
