From my recent trip to Evros river delta.

There's a nest of Buzzards nearby my home and I often enjoy watching them doing dogfights and such in an attempt to hone their newly acquired skill of flying.

Last week I could here one of them close by and saw him capturing moles and such in the distance, but always out of reach of the camera. Then all of a sudden I spotted him resting on a lamppost nearby, grabbed my camera and run upstairs to capture him on eye level.

Sadly my windows open in the wrong direction so I was forced to shoot through double planed isolation glass at an angle which decreases sharpness greatly and causes some weird double line artefacts in the background (like VR causes from time to time) but this is the first half decent shot I got from one of these amazing birds of pray so wanted to post it anyway  :)

I was working from home today when my colourful friend walked by the kitchen window again, this time the iPhone was within grabbing distance to capture the event.

Either a very bold or an extremely stupid Fazant determined to station itself on top of my hundred meter backstop :o

I gave him the benefit of the doubt and rewarded his boldness by taking a mediocre image ;D

Taken through the sunroof and the cross bars of the roofrack with my D2X & 300 AFI, handheld.

Did not have much hope of it working until I opened it on my PC, best image of my day in the Kruger National Park.

Great shot, colours, detail and a threatening pose.
