Thank you very much David
The Buzzard was happy in that tree for a good five minutes, occasionally turning their head / changing position. I walked away with a beaming smile at how lucky I had been to spend several minutes in proximity to this hawk https://www.philhemsley.co.uk/

Thank you very much for your kind words Paul
I have hoped for a long time to make a pleasing photo of a Buzzard, so many time I see them perched in trees, or on telegraph poles beside fields, on my car journeys through Devon and I too have tried sneak up on them. So this was truly awesome to be so close and be so tolerated for 5 minutes by this Buzzard I wish you luck Paul in you too finding a tolerant hawk https://www.philhemsley.co.uk/
