UK Buzzard... not playng ball today.

Sat with his back to me for 45 minutes, then when he flew off i missed it ! Very willing subject though as he seems to use the same area most days..... hopefully i can get a shot or two of him in flight next time.

At least you came away with some nice shots of him sitting down

Nice feather details - very sharp.

Cracking shots Carlton.

would love to have a shot like these, there few and far between here and never let you get close .
Rob.

I wish I could get this close, one look at me from 100 yards and they're off!!
How close will this one let you get?
Peter.

Very very nice! well done.

Hey, I'd take a back shot any day! Very nice capture!

Two very nice images here.

Thanks for the comments gus, much appreciated.

Peter,
On a good day within 40 feet, the two above were both from about 100 feet at 800mm and cropped to 30% of the original.

Two very good shots. Well done.

Wow, those are great Carlton. I don't think you can call them back shots on a bird that can swivel his head around that far though.

Two very nice captures Carlton,

We rarely have such opportunities to shoot ours in the open like this.

Nice sharp shot's Carlton of one of my favourite birds.

Sounds like you want a Rabbit or similar to get his interest.
