    Nice shot's!

    By the way those are not Buzzards, they are some sort of Hawk. Kind of looks like a Red Tailed or Broad winged. Not familiar with Raptors in the UK.

    Thanks, Eric.

    These are European Buzzards (Buteo buteo); they have a mewing call, but they are nothing like the large buzzards you have in the States. Our buzzards are slightly larger than carrion crows.

    I learn something new everyday! They look so much like our Hawks in the States. Thanks for the info!

    If we learn something every day, Eric, we have a good reason to continue living.
