Buzzards are actually the commonest bird of prey nowadays, at this time of year they may be more visible due to territory squabbles and breeding displays.

how NOT to do birds in flight:
Well. i was at Butlins this weekend and they had a bird of prey display. Finally found a use for my 45-200 mm micro
four thirds lens.
Shot using shutter mode at 1000. nice and sunny day. outdoors all lovely. Shot in RAW in case i cocked it up. hardly any cropping etc. camera froze the action brilliantly. BUT one problem. USER ERROR. I left it on iso 1600 from the night befores pics of bumper cars. so they are all a bit grainy. AND my Topaz de-noise trial ran out.
First one is shot at 45mm (90mm on film) no cropping. it was right infront of my face and landed on a pole at arms length behind me.

Can't see the first one Paul - Harris Hawks are they?
To be honest mate even on a bright sunny day at 1/1000 I'd be on ISO 800 anyway - they look fine to me

Nice owl shots Sundance.
Don't no why pictures pasted from photobucket lose quality but i have noticed this in the past and have recently deleted my photobucket account.
Only ever used it for odd shots i didn't want on my flickr anyway

Photobucket automatically resize (compress) your photos if they think you're using too much server space, so they might be fine one day and then you upload a few more and suddenly they all look rubbish!
