Good stuff Phil. One of the real joys of Gigrin is the possibility of getting really nice, wild buzzard images and I've seen few better than this. Have to lose a slither off the bottom though, that's got to be a must

Brilliant shot, I really like the movement and light. I agree with Andrew as the very bottom is a bit distracting.
liam.

It'll do for me ! Good one.
Nice positioning wing wise.
PS Just started using your D200!

Lovely! I see so many of these but they disappear as soon as I stop the car.

Excellent, agree with Andrew regarding a slice off the bottom of fram, a great shot though!

Great image but I agree about slicing off a little bottom.

That's a beauty Phil, great shot. Did you see that very pale kite up in the trees on the right on the day we met you there? From memory it looked awfully like the black kite that was photographed there a couple of days later. I'd look at my shots again if I hadn't deleted them like the cabbage that I am - don't suppose you got any did you? Eric

Caught the moment dead right, and this is not an easy shot to get.

a bit more light on the bird's head would have made it for me but still a very nice image.

A bit off the bottom though.
Cracking Buzzard image and love the pose captured. The setting is also nice with the background nicely soft but we can still see what it is.
Have to go with cropping the bottom just a little.
