Buzzard

I occasionally see a buzzard in the Hatton field when I am out walking the dogs.  I have never managed to get a photograph of it.  He (or is it she?) usually takes off with a casual stretch of the wings before I can get close enough.

Tonight he was sitting on a fence post quite close to the path, but, needless to say, I did not have a camera with me.  A mobile phone is just not up to the task of moving wildlife photography.  But I tried.  It seems to take me so long to get the phone out, switched on, find the camera app, zoom in the lens and then try to find a moving bird  while the camera tries to focus and eventually condescends to take a picture.

I got two pictures, not great, but wonderful when I consider the equipment I was using.   Perhaps some day I will have the right camera round my neck when the buzzard appears again.
