I took this short sequence of photos of a buzzard on Friday morning. Buzzards often fly over Falmer, and once or twice have come in to perch on the trees surrounding the village pond. I spotted this one as it came in from over the fields. As you’ll see it had a reason for wanting to sit down.

All of which proves why it’s sensible to use a long lens. Standing under a tree while a buzzard defecates is probably not the ideal start to the day! 😉

Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens.

    1. Nice shot of the Osprey 🙂

  1. LOL … it’s interesting that he didn’t let fly while on the wing.

    1. dW, he flew up from the field especially to do that!
