Very nice shots again!

Must be nice to have your very own buzzard to pose for your camera :)

Thanks for the comments folks. Ken it seems Buzzards are creatures of habit, he uses this area most days between 10 and 11.30.

I'm curious, how does he find those worms? Does he dig them up? Doesn't seem natural they would be laying on top in the middle of the day.

Hi Mitch, he gets the worms from the surface no digging.Does not matter wether its been raining or not,the only thing that make this area different from other nearby fields is that there about a dozen horses and ponies in small paddocks, might be the hoofs on the ground raising the worms or the horse droppings.

Maybe they were out sunbathing?

To see a hawk eating worms though is just too funny. Maybe he is using them for bait, laying them out in the trees, then waiting for a little bird. :)
