Actually, to be precise it's a Buteo jamaicensis, but yes, it's a lovely shot.

Jack, wish I had 1/100 your ID skills. I love em but can't name but a sad few.

I thought not bad from a circa 1995 lens and a decidedly old tech sensor.

I would have been delighted to get that with my current equipment!

Great shot, sharp wings. You must have had flashes set up to stop the motion...

Any ideas what this is folks please? I took it in South Wales UK it was skimming across the water - dark grey wings and back with a white tail.

I think it might be a UK White Tail Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla

Although it is extremely rare it's not completely out of the question. There has been one hanging around Blagdon and Chew Valley lakes over the last week or so. This is the first seen here since 1927 so not exactly a regular occurrence.

Landing gear is down, but still in flight.

We did a night shoot with bats the same way. Amazing.

Are we going to see the results?

I'll second that.

I read on a website about an owner of a white tail, and his bird went on a trip around south wales, then was re united with the owner.
