Glorious bird in a local field.

Watching this Buzzard who thinks he's an Osprey diving into shallow water. He made several dives and then returned to the same post. Could not see what he was trying to catch but I did find it interesting to watch. I managed to move closer and get several on the post shots and this one as he...
