Buteo buteo
It's a medium to large bird of prey. The Common Buzzard measures about 50 cm in length with a wingspan of about 120 cm. The plumage can vary from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale 'necklace' of feathers.
covers most of Europe and extends into Asia
This bussard seamed to like the picture taking of mine. He always flew about 50 -100 m a long the road and waited till I'm catched up to take further pics.

Yep, Buzzards love to lead you along the way. They never give up hope that that person with the camera just gets bored ;-)
