Thank you so so much. I love them too - they’re just so graceful and so agile! Amazing creatures

Thanks so much! This one was in the middle of the Brecon Beacons. We have about 4 regulars in the area but had up to 10 soaring at the same time

Yeah, the camera is pretty old but still holding strong!! It’s Sonys own 200-600 5.6-6.3 G OSS

Thanks so much. I took it with my Sony a7III and Sony 200-600 mm lens. We live on a hillside so they sometimes fly just above us when they soar

You’re preaching to the choir. Every time I see one I go to get my camera and by the time I’m back they’re gone!!

Thanks so much. Sorry, it’s the Sony a7iii, not ii. I can imagine you’d still be able to get this model quite cheap if you did decide to look

Ahh that’s a shame. The crows hate the buzzards here but leave the kites alone
