The Talon-ted Leighton Buzzard

By CanonAndy22
Hi Everyone
Thanks for all your positive support on my previous posts. PMs sent to all for their generous awards.

Tonight's is another from my Barn Owl Centre day with Lillian and friends. Please excuse the pun in the title, was finding it tough tonight to think of something appropriate.

This is Leighton the buzzard who performed so well for all the cameras in some poor weather. I took this one side on to give a different type of view to the normal landing shot. I hope you all like it.

Andy Smile
