...and as we stayed on an apple farm nearby, I knew where to look for it. But I did not expect to find a treasure like this. We stayed on the farm in a cottage for 6 months when we arrived in the area,

Not every day that you will see this, and I was so happy to get it. Freedom! I think someone captured this Jackal Buzzard (Buteo Rufofuscus), and it freed itself. I cannot for a moment think why anyone

We have many raptors here, and I will share some in flight. First a Harrier Hawk, then a couple of Ravens and finally a Jackal Buzzard. All of them in flight, and it's always an issue to identify some

And he even posed for me for a while, until a crowd arrived. We were driving on a narrow single lane road, and thankfully my wife saw him, as he sat on a tree at the car's passenger side. So, I slammed

Come and let's watch some Jackal Buzzards doing their thing in the sky. The jackal buzzard (Buteo rufofuscus) is a fairly large African bird of prey. The taxonomy of this species has caused some confusion

A very angry juvenile followed screaming after his mom. Happy Friday to all and a most amazing thing happened to me. A jackal Buzzard decided to fly right over my head. I was following a little sunbird

May has been a busy month for me, which is good because it means I'm making money (that I quickly spend!) and that I've gotten to see a lot of the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes region of NY during a wonderful

I saw him coming over out of the sun and he gave me a few shots. High up and in a blazing African sun and it was not easy on the zoom. I took about 20 shots of him and only these below was fairly good

A sharp sunny day here and I heard a young raptor's cry. Oh yes, he came over low, but I had to take a quick snap with the sun in my eyes. We were surrounded by tall old oak trees and as I heard that

At first I will show you how a crow launches himself in a strong wind. Right, the Pied Crow on the street lamp was ready to take off. We often see these fights and every time I am astounded to see how

One by one - so one by one! The adjoining enclosure with Carlos is the enclosure where Long-legged Buzzards live. Today I came to them with a rake and a firm intention to put things in order. As always,
