I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.
Despite being the commonest and most widespread UK bird of prey, it was still a priviIege and thrill to get so close to this wild bird.
I had to fire shots off one at a time or in small bursts as the shutter noise was distracting this buzzard from devouring its pigeon.
It 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. Birds 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.
Quite a character...she took a huff and decided she didnt want to display for a while...

Bald Eagles do not gain their white plumage until 4-5 years of age. I sat and enjoyed this young one making some fishing runs. Lake Guntersville, AL
It has taken me a long time to actually see a Sparrowhawk let alone get a photo of one!
Thanks to Brian and Ian.
While exploring a new area, found this beautiful jungle owlet sitting quietly in a tree branch and staring back at us. There were 2-3 of them in the area calling out loudly but this is the only one we sighted.
This is a common resident Owlet found in forests across the country. They can be often heard during morning / evenings in the forests, but they are kind of active during the day too. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.
The Owlet moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they move so stealthily that we couldn't trace them. But thanks to the Bulbuls and other small birds that were continually harassing these owlets, we sighted them again and again.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves - very much appreciated.
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...

What a treat to get a glimpse of this bird, especially in such lovely early morning light. This gives a useful size comparison.

American Bald Eagle (Male)
[Haliaeetus leucocephalusale]
Beneath the pair of bald eagles there was a whole field of soccer players and families not realizing what was directly above them!
