Buzzard - (Buteo buteo)
Taken on Mull in April, this magnificent bird eluded us many times until the later part of the day, where for once, he was a little more accommodating. But still very shy and flew off within a few seconds of getting this shot.

MKIII 500f/4 1/640 f/5.6 ISO400

Great shot, background and sharpness are brilliant. I wish I could get this close to one!

Go in September Stephen when they sit about all over and are far from being shy.
Well done for your efforts. :toast:

A lovely image, saw loads of these last week on my way to Devon, but didn't get any shots :frown:

Nice one.
