Taken at Gigrin at same time as my last upload. A good place to get Buzzards. Thought they were quite a big bird until seeing them next to Red Kites..massive size difference.

Got this in some nice end of the day light. Unfortunately, again a crop to 40%

Thanks for any comments

Hi Graeme

Great pose/wing position and I love the apparent eye contact with the camera - very very nice!

Another superb shot Graeme. Similar type to the latest RSPB mag cover shot of a Red Kite. This could be equally used as a cover shot.

Hi Graeme,

Very very nice, this is the type of shot that I have been trying to get for a few weeks now, with very little luck, I think I would be better off trying to nail jelly to my ceiling

Great compostion, and super timing, I know exactly what you mean about thinking buzzards are big birds until you get a comparison to another large raptor.
