Common Buzzard, Farcet Fen
When I moved on to the fen here in 2002, Common Buzzard was a rarity. Eight years on and I have two pairs breeding within a couple of miles of me and they are now a daily sight for me from the house. This bird was one of four birds circling over the house on 9 April.© Steve Dudley | Canon 7D EF 400mm f5.6
