More about this photo in my blog: Time-lapse of a Buzzard while hunting.

Lanky raptor with a tiny head and long wings with prominent ‘fingers’. Plumage highly variable, but note tail pattern: pale overall with dark tip, two wide-spaced narrow dark bars on basal half. Rangier and more lightly built than stocky Common Buzzard, with a longer neck, smaller head, looser and floppier wingbeats. The adult has yellow eyes (brown on Common Buzzard). Favors forest with clearings and small wetlands, but migrants may occur in any habitat.

ABOUT
DIRK BECKERS

Dirk Beckers is a hobby wildlife & nature photographer living in Antwerp (Belgium). Fujifilm is mostly the gear I prefer but sometimes Nikon has a place in my bag. Aside from some exposure, sharpening, noise reduction and basic colour corrections, I don’t spend much time post-processing my photos. I believe that good photographs are accomplished outdoors, in the field, and not in front of the computer. That’s the essence of my photography. For more about me click here.

BIRD
IDENTIFICATION

Please be aware that I’m not an expert in Ornithology. I’m using the Merlin app from The Cornell Lab for bird identification, but if you think that there are still some mistakes with the names of the birds, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to make the necessary corrections!
