Thanks Mark. Unfortunately I couldn't get close at all as there was a fence and a field between the bird and myself. I took quite a few shots of it sitting on the post but just after I had put the camera in its holder and turned to leave it took off, giving nice flight views.

Very nice! As I have previously said, we have lots of buzzards here but although we have been here in France in this house for almost 2 years (end of February), I still don't have a decent shot of a buzzard. They definitely are skittish and unlike red kites they don't like flying close to people. But they are quite happy to perch on very precarious-looking twigs on top of small trees or high bushes on the roadside and don't bat an eyelid at cars passing under them just a few metres away. One day I will get around to driving around and pointing a lens through a car window while parked
