Common Buzzard

Here are a few shots of a common buzzard taken during a sunny afternoon at Western Turville reservoir near Aylesbury.  They were taken with my Sigma 150-500mm lens, obviously at the extreme end as the buzzard was soaring at high level.  They are not exactly as sharp as I would like but I suppose that is a limitation when trying to capture somewhat elusive wildlife.

Here are a number of consecutive shots showing a grey heron coming into land in shallow waters at Broughton in Aylesbury.  Although graceful looking when on land, the heron is often described as a scruffy and awkward looking bird, much of which is documented here.
