Marsh Harrier Attack by Diane and Brian Dorling, auf Flickr
Part of a sequence of shots of a Buzzard sat on a post being constantly buzzed by a Marsh Harrier female.
Maybe she has a nest nearby?

I think this is a great blue heron, Nat.

You are correct in your white one is an egret.

Nice shots Brian. Those are buzzards? They look like hawks.

Common Buzzard, Buteo Buteo. My neighbour is a taxidermist and knows these things. I do not!
Apparently there is almost no limit to the colouring of them around here.

Great shots in both threads from everyone!

I was wondering the same thing about buzzards.

Maybe a hawk and buzzard mated a while back

Some inspiring shots here, especially the terns, Mikehit.

Here are a few from Kruger National Park two weeks ago.

All with 100-400 mkII and my wife's 77D. My old 7D just not cutting it anymore, need a 7dIII ASAP!

And some oxpeckers.
