Buzzard landing on a post
I haven't photographed much this year, so it was great to go out with the camera again. This picture shows Leighton a captive Buzzard,
he is such a star and great fun to photograph. Thanks to Vince it was excellent.

Canon EOS 1D MkII, 500mm Lens, 1/1000, F4, ISO Rating 400

Danny you certainly made Leighton look majestic, if I listen carefully I'm sure I can hear Vince crying in the background.
Way to go, phenominal work!

Danny,
Fabulous picture - captive or not! (I note you have taken out the leg irons which Vince had left in on his. I would have done the same!!!)
I am really envious of the opportunity you had with this bird and you certainly made the most of it. Great work!

Cheers,
Roy

Hi Danny

Captive (not as easy as you often think) or not you certainly nailed this one. Love the BL!
