Hi Andy and a warm welcome from me to WAB.
What a beautiful area to live in. I love the road from there to Tregaron.
Please don't take the next bit as criticism but as advice.
To be honest I wouldn't have cropped those photos as much. Try lessening the crop then resizing the photos as 800 - 600 if possible. There is far too much noise in the images as they are so see how they turn out with a lessened crop and a resize of 800-600.
You don't have to have the bird as frame fillers to appreciate them and the bird in these photos is an absolute beauty. I hope you can work on the originals and get some stunning images.
It's a shame as they could have been brilliant images. They certainly look good as thumbnails (especially the first one).
It looks a stunning bird though so I would persevere with trying to photograph any that come your way.
I look forward to any other images you may get. Please post any you get on this thread.
BTW do you ever get any of the Red Kites over your way?

Lovely shots Andy, you've really captured the movement,and I like the colours in the first picture. We have a good population of buzzards in Cheshire, they are always interesting to watch. |

grand photos, and as you say they are cropped to show on here, so i wouldn't mind too much about the 'noise'. good advice from john though.
can't wait to see these birds displaying in the next few months, i've got a cracking spot for watching them nearby

Brilliant composition of the pics! Shame about the noise 
What were the originals like? I also have a 70-300mm and find I can never get close enough to many birds to get a decent shot!

What's "noise" in photos? Is it the background "fuzz"? How can it be avoided?
