Taken today using car as a hide.
This bird, one of a pair suddenly started to stare upwards.
Glancing out of the car I spotted a Common Buzzard overhead.

Great light. Shooting angle looks like you're much lower than a car window which is nice :smile:

After next week Graeme I will be somewhat higher. as I am changing to a 4x4.
My car is pretty low but not ideal for where I take it.
The other factor of course is that the greater the focal lenght the smaller the angle becomes if you see what I mean.

Hi

Great shot - lovely angle and pose. Images like this seem 'wrong' for the UK to me - this should be on the dusty plains of Spain or North Africa if you know what I mean!
