    Great raptor shot! Must have been a delight to see in life, up there in the big blue. Awesome sighting. Posted 5 years ago

      Thanks! It was actually perched on the ground in a field by the road when I first saw it, and then it hovered very low for a good long while, looking for its next meal!
      This is a true rarity in France (where I've never seen it), but here it's nearly as common as the common buzzard!       Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
