Common
Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
The
Buzzard is increasing its numbers in Britain and breeding
birds can now be found over many more counties than a decade
or so ago. It feeds on a wide range of prey, including birds,
voles, rabbits and even worms. It breeeds in trees. It has
broad wings and soars easily. The pale broad band along
the middle of the underwings is a good identification when
in flight.
