Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus)

Another picture that was taken from our balcony. It was higher up than I would have liked but it was still very nice to see it. I think it's a male.

Stunning bird, I'd be well happy with that photo too. It is a male as you say. Primary bar spacing confirms that.

A beautiful raptor and a marvelous overhead. Great aerial pose with its wings spread and tail flared. Top-notch Graham! TFS!
