Buteo Buteo in flight
Taken last week at Gigrin. A great place for Buzzard shots which have been hard to come by for me so I was very pleased to get the opportunity. Again cropped to 60% :frown: of the original and usual processing applied.

Any comments appreciated

Nice shot, like the sharpness of the eye and the determined look, good to include the background too as it shows the habitat.

I like it. The background is a bit too cluttered, but you don't have much choice wth a shot like this.

Very nice too. I like the BG - I think it adds rather than detracts

Ditto, great BG and bird, looks like Gilgrin is a great.

I agree that the background adds rather than detracts. In fact, I think it makes the shot. Lovely!

Nice shot and well done to focus while the bird is flying through that kind of habitat. :toast:
