Common Buzzard
One from last week. The easter-snowfall gave som well illuminated undersides of my local raptors, but I still like this better for a rare view of the upside.

1D MarkIII +500/4; iso400, f5.6, 1/2500, almost full frame.

I agree it's nice to see the top of the bird's wings. Nicely captured.
