Description

Flew over me and went in hot pursuit of him to try get some photographs. Each time I got too close flew on to another tree... lugging a tripod and camera through creepers and bushes eventually got my chance. Grey-Go-away birds were making a racket and didn't let up, making quite sure his presence was well known to all. Interesting is we have a large number of wild bee hives around at the moment and wasp nests and have read the Honey buzzard preferred diet is wasp and bees.
