Description
The commonest UK bird of prey, it is quite large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail. When gliding and soaring it will often hold its wings in a shallow 'V'. It is variable in colour from all dark brown to birds with pale heads and breasts, all have dark wingtips and an unbanded tail. This is the darker Morph I will post the lighter version tomorrow, as the surprising change almost make them appear to be different species..
Thanks as always for taking time to look and for any comments you care to make.

another amazing and spectacular capture looks to be as if theres a cloud reflection in his eye!! always so impressed by your wildlife captures!!!
I never knew this is the commonest bird of prey, Danny! We have got sparrowhawks and kestrels in Bournemouth, but I saw my first Buzzard only 2 years ago, being mobbed by gulls and crows over my garden. This dark one is extremely handsome!
Beautiful bird and wonderful shot.
Among Czarist buzzards there is always a Bolshevik or two.
Wonderful and very opportune shot my friend......!!!!
As always a most amazing piece of detailed photography, and the most beautiful bird, I love it! hugs Jane xx

Great pic. diferent colours of other. I have here the same type of this 2 birds.. as you show to us..Great work.
Perfect capture! I agree with Richard, perhaps common, but not so when captured this exquisitely!
Excellent image.
I know them so well.. I can see those beautiful creatures almost every day now.. many of them living not far from where I live I suppose.. This is a very dark buzzard.. I never have seen one that dark.. but thew opposite.. the white one is very common here.
