Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I like how the colours came out, especially as this was a dark bird on a white sky, which is always needs correction when on auto-ISO.

Honestly I was just looking at a couple of these. And I think there's buzzards around here? Location - not so far from you.

Yes, there's both buzzards and kites around here - very similar life-styles.
