AnimalPhotography - Bird of Prey - Please help me identify this one?

[extremejogging]

Sometimes it is useful to have a 300m zoom lens with you. ;) I caught this Bird of Prey on a game drive in the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa.

Unfortunately I'm not an expert at identifying birds and I've got no idea what type of Bird of Prey this is. I did a quick Google Search and think it might be a Jackal Buzzard (Buteo rufofuscus), but I'm not sure.

Can anyone help me identify it please?

Camera: Canon EOS 400D with 300mm zoom len
Location: Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa

Keep exploring...

I am NOT saying it looks like you used their pic, your shots are amazing.Looks like this guy to me, a buzzard? https://pixabay.com/en/buzzard-bird-of-prey-south-africa-534843/

[extremejogging]

Wow, you're right. That even looks like the same bush it is sitting on. I wonder if it was also taken in Addo National Park. If yes, it may be the same bird. ;)

Photo-bombing buzzard - every park needs one!

Haha, looks like he posed better for their photo. ;)

[vacilator]

I think it's a Buzzard or Common Buzzard, but I'm not sure. Nice pic!

Cheers,

Vaci.

[extremejogging]

Yes, I think you're right.

[steempank]

great shot!!! Canon 300MM telephoto lens is super famous L lens. If I'm not wrong this seems to be an Eagle. Please refer to the below link.

[will-c]

[extremejogging]

Thanks.

[singa]

beautiful bird, sharp ))

[extremejogging]

Thanks.

[negorosp]

wow, I want such a lens :)

[extremejogging]

It is a nice lens, but does not have a stabilizer... so you need to keep it VERY still to get a sharp photo.

[negorosp]

You are not god, for I am.

[emiii18]

Wow ! beautiful photos.
Excuse my ignorance, what animal is it?

[extremejogging]

Thanks. There seem to be consensus that it is a buzzard. ;)

[emiii18]

[extremejogging]

Thanks. ;)

[traciyork]

No idea what kind of bird this is (other than obviously a bird of prey) but those are amazing shots! Good luck with the identification, and thanks for sharing these (I'm a sucker for bird photos - LOL).

[extremejogging]

Thanks for the complement. I think we've come to the conclusion that this is a Buzzard. ;)

[traciyork]

You're very welcome, and coolness! 😊

[euggud]

Nice shot.

And the bird has already been identified ;-)

Thanks for sharing

[extremejogging]

Thanks, yes they have.

[maxwell95]

Before i try identifying it,please allow me to say that you are really good at taking photos.Really nice shoots. The bird looks like a hawk or a falcon to me. :)

[extremejogging]

Thanks @maxwell95. We've come to the conclusion that it is a Buzzard.
