Now the commonest and most widespread UK bird of prey. The buzzard is quite large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail. When gliding and soaring it will often hold its wings in a shallow 'V' and the tail is fanned. Buzzards are variable in colour from all dark brown to much paler variations, all have dark wingtips and a finely barred tail. Their plaintive mewing call could be mistaken for a cat.

Eye to eye contact with an owl at close quarters, can it get any better?

En fouillant dans mes archives j'ai retouvé des photos de Busard des roseaux jamais postées, je profite du manque de sorties sur le terrain pour les poster.
While searching in my archives I found photos of Western Marsh Harrier never posted, I take advantage of the lack of field trips to post them.

Sorry for the low resolution/quality, wish I had a longer lens during afternoon walk today with me. Highly cropped and from far away, but wanted to share this action shot. Hoping someone identifies it...
The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day.
Vultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction.
The International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event.
It is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists.
It was hard to decide whether to laugh or feel sad for this fish while capturing this shot... poor guy's world was flipped upside down- literally and figuratively...
Can you relate? Tell me how?

This was my first trip to Blackwater NWR and I was not disappointed. Plenty of birds presenting themselves in wonderful photo opportunities. Saw a good number of bald eagles who were beginning to pair up in preparation of the upcoming mating season.
It has proved a real treat and luckily been pretty successful recently utilising the car as a hide for these little beauties. They sit and just do their stuff as long as you don't make any sudden moves and remain very quiet and patient, you also need to have some sort of camo/screen over the window. I am currently using an old scabby jumper with a hole cut out of it for the lens to go through :-)
