EXTRA - Buzzard

It is lovely to have a few photographers as well as birders in my bird group and I am pleased when they send me some of their photographs, they also give me permission to share them with you.  Today, I am showing you a Buzzard taken by one of them.  


At least this Buzzard has found some sun. 

Thank you for visiting and also to all those who leave comments.

    I've never seen a buzzard in person. They're certainly a large, solid looking bird!

    Is a buzzard the same as a vulture? This does not look anything like the ones around here. They have naked heads so they can eat dead prey and stay clean. This bird looks more like a hawk. How unusual!

    Handsome fellow! In the western US States, buzzard is a nickname for vulture. And vultures, while necessary, are not anywhere as good looking as your buzzard!

    That is a really great picture! Gorgeous bird aside, the greens are perfect, love the sunlight on the posts giving a green glow and the contrasts between the sharp prickles of (is it ?) the gorse and the smooth feathers of the Buzzard. 10/10 from me.

    Nice picture - and its good to know that these birds are rather more common than when I was a kid.

    What kind of buzzard is this, Margaret? We saw a bird that looked like this one yesterday and thought it was a huge hawk. You know I'm no bird expert. ;) blessings ~ tanna
