This Saturday I received a call from the ladies saying that buzzards were being sighted regularly in the fields adjacent to the pottery so I popped along to see what they were all about.
There was nothing special about my first couple of ' POST EAGLE' images that every tourist points out when visiting Cornwall apart from the fact that this looked like a dodgy landing post but the birds proved to be very used to settling on this high voltage vantage point before moving down into the fields below
These buzzards proved to be very frequent visitors and my interest grew as they spent their whole time here hunting in the well grazed fields.
Some times they dropped straight down into the field while more regularly opting to land on fence post vantage points first always watchful for any intrusion before dropping onto their prey which consisted mainly of large Lob worms.
Over the next three hours I was treated to thirty + Take off images some of which are posted below as portraits while others lent themselves so well to Montage Take-off composits
Most of their prey seemed to be Lob worms but on two occasions they turned their attentions to a couple of rather relaxed looking rabbits.
'Guess who is coming for Dinner' or 'He is behind You !!'
Many thanks to Hazel and Sally for hosting this shoot.
