Buzzard (Buteo buteo)

While positioning myself to attempt capturing a pair of Stonechat by some gorse last week I accidentally spooked this Buzzard from a tree. I remember being disappointed that it flew in front of the low Sun as I sprayed away, so I was quite relieved when looking at the back of camera to see a pleasing rim-lighting effect around its feathers.
