Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)

7 August 2011: Fairburn Ings RSPB Reserve.

Having walked along the new path to Lin Dike for the first time, I was walking (carefully!) back along the road to the Visitor Centre when this bird drifted overhead.

In my haste, I flicked onto the wrong focus setting on my camera, otherwise the shot might have been a bit sharper than it is.
