Thanks for all of your lovely comments. I love this old tree. They are not birds in the crown but remnant leaves from last summer. The trunk is hollowed out. The willows next to it have owls living in it that hoot at me when I walk past at night with the dogs.
I grabbed this shot one day on our camping trip. The buzzard was a regular visitor to the field and had just delighted me with a close fly over. He hovered over my head for ages and I allowed myself the pleasure of just watching before I decided it was worth a mad dash for my camera and a quick lens change. My big lens takes better shots from the tripod as the small movements of my hand and breathing make for blurred images but I was pleased to be able to get this anyway.
