I was driving down a country lane when a buzzard was chasing a rabbit in front of the car it was on a grass verge then chased it over the hedge and into a field..
It was an amazing sight..
There are red kites reported about 4 miles away..  |

Many years ago, when buzzards were just starting to reappear round here, I was driving to work on a country lane and came upon a pair of buzzards on the side of the road feeding on a road kill rabbit - wonderful sight as a result of which I was late for work! Lo and behold, the following morning in nearly the same place they were there again feeding on another road kill. I have never seen it since but have never forgotten the sight!!
That is a brilliant shot of the buzzard!! Wel done. |

This 'buzzard' has a look of Red Kite about it to me... 
Maybe not though, the white head had me going for a minute...

Robin | Maybe it's a rough legged buzzard - they're a lot paler than a common buzzard |
