Field Notes

Description:

Medium to large sized bird of prey and one of my favourites! The common buzzard is an extremely common site in France, especially around fields and wineyards. They are broad-winged raptors with wide variety of plumage ranging from grey/white to dark brown and black.

Notes:

Due to the distance (plus I'm no raptor expert) I can't be 100% sure of the ID.
