As you say juxtaposition.. Well spotted, I guess many of us would have missed it. But barbed wire and in multi strands I hate. Rarely fitted with the necessary safety guidelines…. But those are for humans sadly not wildlife.
I’ve been looking for fences recently for my little lockdown project. This finding was particularly interesting as it showed that what is a barrier for some can be appealing to others. Just wish I’d had a long lens and a few more seconds to get focus spot on.
Life is always full of ifs and buts. I have been walking light of late, so missed what I imagined would have been a great shot of a Buzzard, right location, right time, right pose wrong lens. 🙂
You need to track them down late evening or early morning when the cold slows them down. This one was about 18:00 and he still flew off when I got closer. I’m not a morning person. but I think that’s the best time as you can catch them slowly warming up and spreading their wings. Or so I am told!

Barbed wire catches so many tings. I have many a pulled thread or ripped clothing thanks to barbed wire

It’s not my favourite thing. But it has appealing sharpness for photos.

The surprise is that it stayed still enough for you. I’m finding butterflies very skittish at the moment. Great photo!
