Buzzard ( UK ).......was it worth the effort ?

Certainly was for me but not for him !... he spent about forty minutes flying around from post to post then swooping down for a feed, the last pic shows the result for all his efforts, going to find him a nice piece of road kill the next time i go.

nice shots aligater,for such a large bird they do prey on very small creatures,here in scotland it is also worm month and many buzzard can be seen in fields just waiting on the worms to appear,i suppose its a lot less effort than trying to catch a rabbit

Well worth it, nice shots!

Agreed...well worth the effort for you..not sure about the bird though!

some very nice ones here love the take off shots would love to get some as good as those.

You call 'em buzzards over there...
We call 'em Hawks. But they are beautiful birds whatever they're called, and we're usually happy to see them eat ANYTHING but our songbirds.
And we're always excited to get a decent shot of them.

5&6 are especially nice I think,

American hawks eat really well, your poor birds are dinning on worms??? Ha..ha...that's really funny! I have never seen a hawk eating worms, very good captures! Sorry I had to kid you a bit.

Great set of shots - #5 is great. Really surprised to see it eat a worm, but I guess if you are desperate lol

Linda

great shots, well captured. Did not expect the last photo.

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

All are good but the 5th picture is my favorite, good job...Jeff

Well worth it, number 5 for me too.

nicely done.

i haven't seen any photos of the bird's american cousin (red-tailed hawk) eating any worms.

Aww, poor guy. Chicken is cheap here. I'd be tempted to stop and get him one on e way out there.
