I'm not overly keen on the perch... :smile: but a great shot of the buzzard.

This is a lovely shot, Paul. Was it actually a captive bird? The reason I ask is that to the left of the left foot on the large version (as we look at it) there is a little bit of what appears to be a jessie visible. Just curious, it is a cracking shot whatever.

Hi David, yes it is a captive bird, it was the first time this young bird has been displayed, and photographed. I forgot to put the (c), sorry guys.

Plenty of detail, they do perch on bails so no problems from me.

Sharp and great colours but the hay bale is not the best of perches :wink:
