Hey all
Well here I am in my rental house in Portugals Alentejo!
I have been observing my local raptors and trying hard to get some half decent images.
This lovely bird appears to be resident and I bump into him most days. Having said that getting pics is quite another story.
For this shot it was using a largew dead tree as alookout and as I carefully approached, flew towards me.
