buzzard off


It is turning cold and food is getting scarce so buzzards increasingly turn to road kill to keep themselves going through the winter. Their problem is that they are not the most nimble of birds and are slow to take off and can easily get hit by passing vehicles. A lot of young buzzards die at this time of year either of starvation or road accidents.

I do like this shot as it captures the essence of the bird. Great.

Tx Deri, and I agree there is something of the essence of buzzard about it. Aristotle or Plato?
