Buzzard

I still don't feel wonderful and the Doctor says I probably have a virus so I will just have to sit it out. I've had a sore throat ever since I came back from holiday but yesterday I felt really nauseous and my head has been aching ever since I got back too. I just don't seem to have any energy but I thought I must go out for a walk. I walked through the fields to the lock and then back along the cycle track. I was pleased that I made the effort when I noticed 2 buzzards flying above. They were quite a way off so I've had to crop this a lot but it is a good record of seeing the birds.

Sorry I got it wrong when I labelled this as a red kite.

Lovely capture...and still so clear after the crop!
Isn't it strange how often we get sick after a holiday! Feel better soon.

Rosie, a beautiful capture of a bird of prey, not sure what it is, but it isn't a red kite as they have a forked tail
Hope you start to feel better soon

@padlock You are right - it is a buzzard. I've now renamed the pic and thanks for pointing this out. @pixiemac You are right too Sarah - it's a buzzard. Thanks for pointing it out. I've renamed my pic. Must have been having a senior moment!
