Mouse buzzard

Mouse buzzard sitting in a tree by the road, patiently waiting for its prey...
Unfortunately, I had gotten into his comfort zone - I could take this one photo before he flew away - all the cars passing underneath his tree didn't seem to bother him, but a pedestrian with a clicking camera was more than he would bear.

Nice one Gernot. I can relate to your story. There's a buzzard like this close to where I live as well, usually amongst the trees of a secondary road. I've not yet managed to capture it though, so good job that you did! Posted 13 years ago
