It was a real joy watching this beautiful Buzzard searching the area for prey. And happy for the challenge of capturing the flight.

    Great photos. It reminds me of our Rough-legged hawk that winters here in Idaho. Great post

    Hej!
    Vilket sammanträffande, här hos mig seglade två ormvråkar runtom i skyn för några minuter idag, men i brådrasket hade jag inte tid att ställa in kameran och av bilderna blev det inget!!
    Dessa ögonblick som inte kommer varje dag!

    Great photos. I especially like the first one where the bird is standing out so clearly against the background of the farm buildings.

    Beautiful birds. Your images are fantastic. I live on a housing estate on the edge of my town and often see Buzzards (up to eight at a time) they really are a success in the UK at the moment.

    I have also been watching a few of these this week but much, much higher in the sky. Nice shots.

    Those are prettier than what we call buzzards (turkey vultures or black vultures). Very nice action shots. Thanks for sharing.

    Well caught! I agree, the challenge of catching birds in flight is the ultimate test and something that never gets old. It's nice to see your interesting landscapes in the background too. ;-)WBW Now its time to check on Costa Rica!

    Så kul att få se sådana bilder :)
    Det såg nästan ut som du hade varit på segerstad och fotat den .. för på den första bilder såg det precis ut så där vi brukar få se kärrhöken :)

    this buzzard is a bit unusual in the coloring and very beautiful. I am glad you liked what I shared.

    Hej! Du får ursäkta om jag gör dig lite besviken, men det är en fjällvråk som du fångat på bild. fast den tycker jag är häftigare än ormvråken. Just vid Stensjön är de ganska vanliga höst, vinter och vår. Jag tror jag såg den här individen när jag hälsade på min mamma senast, som bor en den f.d. lanthandeln med utsikt över Stensjön. /Urban
