Bonus Buzzard

10-03-2023, 23:48

Heading home from my Islands in The Minch shoot I spotted this buzzard on a fence post. Not disturbed by my passing car I pulled over further on and walked back. I'm finding the Sigma 150-600 sport a bit unwieldy in the cold and breeze these days but with a bit of wobbling and waving around managed a decent shot from among a lot of duff ones.

Good shot, guess they were deciding on what tasty morsel would make their next meal.

Thanks for looking and commenting

I was surprised the buzzard hung around long enough to get a few shots.
