Buzzard

When I got up this morning and pulled the curtains on an upstairs window, I saw a buzzard sitting in the field over the canal. I was still rather groggy so these aren't the best shots, but it was exciting seeing one so close, and so still.

Yes, pretty sure it's Buteo buteo. We see them a lot around here; the underwing is quite distinctive although you can't see it in these photos.
