JULY - "Soar" - BUZZARD, South Stoke Water Meadows, OXON
A stunning mid morning dog walk was punctuated by this Buzzard. Normally buzzards are shy and veer off as soon as they see you. On this occasion however, it did a full fly-by and I got a sharp image at reasonably close range. Just vibrant and stunning image of a raptor that has been forced into 2nd place by the introduction of the bolder Red Kites.
