Buzzard by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Buzzard

Poor thing was so hot and bothered and still very nervous of humans. He'll never be released back into the wild as his right wing hasn't healed properly.

I have taken a photo or three today, but they're all on fiveplustwo, artsygang and the darkroom.

PoJT - eyes retested, both pairs of glasses to be redone, should be back in a fortnight
He does look angry and I guess he has a right since nature seems to have dealt him a sad hand. Wonderful detail and lots of attitude.

Not what our buzzards look like, we call them hawks around here. But a rose by any other name still smells as sweet, eh?! Beautiful

@shutterbug49 I was about 2m away
@beverley365 the sunlight was just about perfect
@365anne who knew a buzzards tongue is so long
@robz I think he is
@ljmanning he was keeping cool
@koalagardens they're all qualified to handle birds and we were given strict instructions. When he was on the glove of his keeper he was sooooo relaxed. They worked hard not to have him out down
@wakelys not helped by some who went a bit too close or moved too fast
@grammyn I cannot see on the camera LCD screen if a photo is in focus!
@lettevy thank you
