Hi Jeff
Different Buzzard perch !!
Perhaps a little more space on the bottom and some off the left might help.Maybe some sharpening on the head might be an improvement too.Great birds are they not ?
Cheers

Hi Jeff,

Yep I agree, great birds! I would echo what John has said regarding the crop. The bait is a little annoying, but not much you can do about that, if it wasn't there then neither would the birds!

Nice shot. I agree with suggestions. I find these to be very difficult despite being quite common here.
