| Re: Buzzard Photography
Hi Helen and Alan
Thanks for the feed back. The hide is right on the edge of the wood and I am told it is not near the buzzard nesting area. I have used the hide in the past to photograph other birds. My plan would be to photograph other birds and hope for a visit from a buzzard. The last time I used the hide I could hear the buzzard calling to a mate (I think). As I left he or she was in a near by Oak tree but to far to get a photograph of. He or she has been photographed from the hide before. I have a copy of the photograph but as it wasn’t taken by me I would not like to post it. I will talk more to the owner of the land, it is his photo I have. It is the owner of the land that has taught me the call of the buzzard he has also taught me some field craft to use. Like the buzzard will sit in a near by tree for hours before he feels it safe to come down. That is the time to just sit and wait. I respect the knowledge the owner has of the country side, he has taken a liking to this ignorant townie for some reason and puts up with my ignorance and repeated questions. All the photos I have posted have been taken from his hides that over years he has planted out to attract the birds. I feel very privileged to know him also a friend of his that walks his dogs on the farm he is in his late eighties with a vast knowledge of the country side. I visit the farm two or three times a week and allowed to roam at will. It is this that has revived an interest in photography.
