Goldfinch and Buzzard
Last few from the garden this weekend.
Blew the whites a bit on the Goldfinch - the light was up and down like a yoyo and I wasn't adjusting often enough.
This Buzzard was sitting on the pole at the end of the garden. I was keeping half an eye on him in the hope that he'd fly my way.
I kind of caught it but it went the wrong way meaning bright sky and a fairly savage crop.

Love the Buzzard shots Phil. They are still fairly rare in Norfolk, although on the increase.

Love to see buzzards, we don't really get them in West Cork, and they're rare enough in Ireland anyway.
