Hi, there isn't a very wide variety of Birds of Prey where I live, but there is an abundance of Buzzards. I have noticed that they seem to like clear sunny, cloudless days. But my problem for photographing them is that they are always circling miles above, i would need a helicopter to even get close to them.
What i know some people do is use roadkill to lure them to the ground. However I cant find any roadkill, the best I could do would be a peice of supermarket meat but they cant smell it and a slab of this raw pink/red stuff might not be recognisable to them as prey (as they usually hunt rabbits). Any ideas as to what i could do? I do have camo clothing and I intend to sit close to the baited area. I would probably set the bait out in the middle of an open field where they could see it clearly.
One last thing, because these buzzards circle so high I presume that their eyesight is highly advanced and able to spot the outline of my bait?
