Wonham waters.....Day 3

While driving up to Wimbleball Lake we came across this guy preening himself while sat on a fence post.

I hadn't realised that these Common Buzzards are actually as abundant as they are, during our week away, the Buzzards we saw, were only out numbered by Pheasants.

After quickly stopping the car, stepping out with the camera, i only managed two shots before the Buzzard was mobbed by three Crows, and in the blink of an eye they were all gone......

The only other times i've seen a Buzzard, they've either been circling overhead at some rediculous height, or swooping away towards some trees or some other obstructions.

Who know's what's around the next corner........???
