Common Buzzard

I spent some time trying to get a decent shot of this Buzzard near our local farm shop. As usual there was a lot of distracting structures in the background. This is heavily cropped even though I used a 500mm lens.
The best vantage point was in the car park, the bird had just landed on a post about 20 yards away as I arrived, a woman got out of her car with a phone snapped a shot of it and asked me what the bird was. As I answered it flew off never to return as close.
Oh the joys of photography!
