Wow what a fantastic picture
Thank you very much MY63
That does not look anything like the buzzards we have in these parts (they are ugly!). Yours looks like a very noble hawk. Great picture!

Thanks Robert, it is a common buzzard nonetheless.

If you scroll down to the "common name" part, there is a quick explanation.
I'm an indifferent birder (but trying to improve) but it looks like buteo buteo, to me.
According to the entry 'buteo' on Wikipedia:
"In the Old World, members of this genus are called*"buzzards", but*"hawk"*is used in*North America."
Two countries divided by a common language (can't remember the attribution).

Per, that is phenomenal! I looked at the EXIF data and I was even more impressed when I saw the shutter speed and ISO. What lens were you using?
