Male dark morphed Rough Legged Hawk. (Buteo lagopus)

A lifer for me and a dark morphed one at that. Watched this beautiful hawk for a short while then remembered I had a camera with me. This hawk was almost black and was very striking when he was flying.

There goes that bird shock again!!

Cor!!! That's a wonderful flight picture you've taken Dave!!!

Very well done - it's not a species we see coming in too often, so thanks for sharing it with us.
 
Well done on your lifer and on getting such a fabulous flight shot, Dave.
