Buzzard - actually perching !!

Post by Richard »

Lot's to do around the Garden today but took 15 minutes to just walk down the Lane with the Camera.
Crossed the stream and saw this Buzzard landing in the Pine Trees about 150 meters away.

Lucky I have a good zoom !! I tried to get closer but even at that distance he saw me and did a runner !!

We have them over our garden too, usually high above but a couple of times recently I've looked out and seen seen something BIG swoop past.
First time wondered if it was a pheasant (but no long tail feathers noticed). Second time saw it perched in a tree, quite a way away so wasn't sure.
