Description
One of my (photographic) objectives for 2009 is to capture more birds, especially my favourites, the birds of prey.
So, already last Saturday, I was very lucky to be able to make this shot, through the window of my car : this buzzard (presumably ?) was posing for me…
I agree that the quality of my picture is not fantastic but anyway, I’m proud of this first shot and I’ll try to get more…
Thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload:

Always good to have a first and share it here!
Fantastic photo, congrats!!
first of many i hope .... the only ones i have captured are captive birds of prey at country shows etc...
excellent first effort! looks like a red-tailed hawk
Interesting photo of this nice bird of prey! ... if you take photos at an angle by the disc, has you no "loss" of sharpness!
wonderful image!
Quality or not, it's an excellent capture.
Great first crack of the whip, not an easy shot!
Keep trying!! Okay got to go see that picture of the dog, it looks so cute!
Fantastic shot.
Ok! Good luck shooting and perseverance be with you!
Fantastic shot:)
wow, excellent first!!! Its soo exciting isn't it ??? :) :)
Birds are not easy!!! I have a real hard time getting a good bird shot with my puny lens! Great first try! Keep at it!!!
I think its good for a first one .. they arent easy to capture ...well not for me .. theres none around here lol
I would love to catch one on a fence post like that! Lucky you!!!
I would guess hawk too. I haven't ever gotten a shot of one of these, although there were lots of them where I used to live in California. Here we have eagles (no shots of those yet either) and hawks (nope) and lots of other stuff...all I seem to do OK with is ducks. Good luck with your resolution, you're off to a great start!
Beautiful shot !!! Congrats for your first..... 5* Hugs:)
How exciting!
Yeah, they're SO hard to photograph... their excellent eyes will see you long before you see them. And they know their area so well they immediately will be alarmed if only a stone is on another place than before g... You will need much luck (or a young one who's not that shy yet)! ;)
He is gorgeous!
Nice shot. I think a HAwk too. But I am no expert at all. I have seen a Kestrel the last few times at the wetlands. Of course I didnt have the Cam... Well done. Congrats!
Bravo on getting the shot, even if it is not clear! Always special to see and be able to capture one of these in the wild!
