:wavey:

Captive buzzard photographed at Vince Jones Barn Owl centre. Had a cracking day and I would like to thank Vince for being an excellent host and working hard to ensure we got the shots we wanted

Thanks Vince.

As ever all C&C welcome

I know you don't post the larger images Phil due to possible theft but I would really like to have seen this one large. I love the use of the plants here (umbilifers?) and the spread wings. Cracking shot matey!

I agree with Nick, and I also like the near head-on pose. Lovely work.

That's a bit special, Phil. The wing position is just superb and I really like the setting. A very nicely timed shot Mr Ellard :toast:

Superb photo. I agree with Nick about having a larger photo, but I understand your reasoning. Lovely pose too and the eye contact is the icing on the cake! :toast: :toast: :toast:
