Had a great day a couple of weeks ago practising panning flight shots (still need lots more practice.
Thought I'd post this, timing off as I really want the wings spread further.

I'm not sure that I like the angle you've shot this one at.
I'd have been tempted to lie flat on the ground and get a more diffused background and foreground with a slightly tighter aperture.
I like the wing position and also the intent look the buzzard has on its prey.
Needs a wee touch of sharpening too, but that's easy enough to fix
