Cornish Buzzards habitually use power line supports along sometimes busy road links as vantage points to watch for prey and are often referred to locally as ' Post Eagles '.
Passing Lorries, noisy tractors and general traffic will all be ignored but if you stop your car at a reasonable distance they start to get a bit uneasy.
Get out of the car to retrieve your camera from the boot and all you will get is a tail shot as the now distant bird flies off in the opposite direction so the answer to gaining a few images is that next time you drive this way have your camera and long lens in the car with you and shoot through a clean windscreen or open side window.
You might now find that you have to wait a while for that classic take off sequence that you have in mind as the bird relaxes on the post but you will be in control when the take-off finally happens.
