I took this photo with a buzzard in the Harderbroek in the municipality of Zeewolde, the Harderbroek light near Harderwijk along the N302. I took this photo in 2018 when it was a dry summer, you can tell by the low water level. You can also see from the trees and bushes that it was summer when I took this photo, you can also see that it was windy. In this area, in addition to buzzards, there is sometimes a European bald eagle hunting. Normally there are also geese and other waterfowl in the Harderbroek. What the buzzard in the picture was hunting I do not know, it could be anything. It was fortunate that this raptor flew in this area that was drier than usual. I have chosen to take this picture in 16:9 to make it look better, you get a panoramic feeling.
