Nice shot. I had to do a search to see that you in Europe call these buzzards, while here in North America, we call vultures by that name.

That looks like a bird of prey not a vulture or buzzard.

Why don't people read the entire thread before replying?

Well, I just learned something. I thought a buzzard was a vulture. Didn't know it was a bird of prey. Live and learn.

Nice pic but a tad over saturated in my eyes. Love the close up.

Thank you all. You never use to see these in the East of England 20 Years ago they were mainly in the West but they have slowly made there way across and now they are common place here. I have a wood near by and they tend to either sit high up in the tress or on logs at ground level. For a bird with such a large wing span they can fly pretty well within the wood itself Im going to try and get a shot of one flying in and out of the trees
