​Went down the wyre forest again today and got set up in a location where Buzzards are often seen, I went down with the hope of getting a good image of the Buzzard/s and pretty happy with my results after waiting for 45mins early morning. He did catch a mouse I think it was when he left this tree, I did not get any images due to the dense forest (slow speed focus because of this )

All feedback welcome :)




Cheers

Hi everyone,

Some precisions:

The buzzard is a bird of prey, a hunter. As such, it has nothing in common with
vultures. 60+ species.

The hawk is generally smaller and, even sitting on a branch, one can recognize
the buzzard with his heavier and more powerful stature. The hawk, build for
speed and smaller prey, would look somewhat finer. In the cat world they would
translate the proportions between a lion and a cheetah.

That's how I differentiate them though the 600mm. No, not the cats but the birds!

Have a good time!
