Common Buzzard Along the Highway Nis - Budapest Common Buzzard - Buteo buteo<br /> On our trip to Germany we passed through Serbia and Hungary. And along the highway we saw at least 100 buzzards. Each couple of kilometres one or two of them perched on fence poles watching for moles and mice. I don&rsquo;t know how many time I pulled over trying to take a shot. It was so frustrating. They are used to the passing autos, but if an auto stops nearby they immediately fly away. Anyway, me and my wife, we both made endless attempts to shoot some of them and took about 40-50 successful photos. <br /> This photo is taken by my wife Eti through the car window.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/34370/common_buzzard_along_the_highway_nis_-_budapest.html" title="Common Buzzard Along the Highway Nis - Budapest"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/1332/34370_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=iTitk32wFsvAWMXoxZczZoFDZrA%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="Common Buzzard Along the Highway Nis - Budapest Common Buzzard - Buteo buteo<br /> On our trip to Germany we passed through Serbia and Hungary.

Common Buzzard Along the Highway Nis - Budapest

Common Buzzard - Buteo buteo
On our trip to Germany we passed through Serbia and Hungary. And along the highway we saw at least 100 buzzards. Each couple of kilometres one or two of them perched on fence poles watching for moles and mice. I don’t know how many time I pulled over trying to take a shot. It was so frustrating. They are used to the passing autos, but if an auto stops nearby they immediately fly away. Anyway, me and my wife, we both made endless attempts to shoot some of them and took about 40-50 successful photos.

      Thank you, Claire! She is so proud of her photos! She just learned how to half-press the button to focus on subject, I gave her the heavy camera with 100-400 mm lens, she used the car window's frame as support and started shooting... while I slo-o-owly drove the car on safety lane backward getting closer and closer to the bird. It was so funny to sea her cheering smile afterward! Posted 9 years ago
