Buzzard.
Buteo buteo.
There were 4 buzzards on the wing today these two joined tallons for a couple of seconds & tumbled.
This was the point as they seperated.
Not sure if it's part of courtship or rivalry.
Witnessed it many times before but never with a camera until now.

Courtship.. I have seen them flying close here, but have yet to catch them spinning. How cool for you to capture this. It's quite a site!!

I'm suitably chuffed & grinning.
It's been a lovely day.

I have seen other buteo's, eagles and ravens doing this; it's most definitely courtship.... nice capture.
