#Common Buzzard

The Majestic Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) 🦅 One of the UK’s most widespread raptors, the common buzzard is a master of the skies, often seen soaring on thermals with its broad wings and distinctive mewing call. Once rare due to persecution and habitat loss, buzzard populations have rebounded, making them a frequent sight across farmland, woodlands, and even urban fringes. 🔎 Key Facts: • Size: Wingspan of 110-130cm, making them one of the UK’s larger birds of prey. • Diet: Opportunistic hunters, feeding on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and carrion. • Hunting Style: Often seen perched on fence posts or hovering in search of prey. • Breeding: Nests in tall trees, laying 2-3 eggs, with both parents caring for the young. • Call: A high-pitched ‘kee-yaaah’ often mistaken for the sound of a red kite. Their adaptability has made them the UK’s most common raptor, and a true success story of conservation! Have you spotted one recently? Let me know in the comments! 👇 #WildlifePhotography #Buzzard #BirdsofPrey #UKWildlife

In nature, there is a predator for every creature. The nemesis of the formidable bee 🐝 is the Honey Buzzard. Bees try desperately to attack it’s eyes, but it doesn’t seem to work 🔥💜 大自然一物剋一物、兇猛蜜蜂的剋星就是蜂鷹、只能拼命攻擊眼睛👁️、好像也沒用🐝🦅

Hmm… Perhaps Neo suddenly realised it’s Monday morning… You might recognise this sound! Wild Buzzards famously communicate, establish pairs and territory using this cry. You may start to see wild buzzard pairs coming together this time of year ahead of the 2024 breeding season! #westofenglandfalconry #hawks #buzzard #commonbuzzard #ukwildlife #nature #explore #birds #visitsomerset #visitthesouthwest #dayoutinbath #bestofbath #buteobuteo #happymonday #january #raptors #birdlovers #wildlifeconservation

BUZZARD [lat: Buteo Buteo] in rainy weather. I actually love to capture animals in rain as it makes the photo/video way more dynamic! BTW!

A quiet moment with a Common Buzzard 🪶 These birds of prey are known for their broad wings and keen eyesight, often spotted perched like this while scanning the ground for small mammals and insects 🌿 What’s your favourite bird to see in the wild? #duikergamelodge #africanwildlife #birding #hluhluwe

This hovering behavior, often seen in Kestrels, can also be occasionally displayed by the Common Buzzard. Fascinating to see!

Still. Focused. Watching. A Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) surveys its territory patient, alert, and perfectly adapted to the rhythm of the wild. In nature, power often moves quietly. Captured in the wild, with respect and distance. Follow for real moments from Europe’s wildlife. #commonbuzzard #buteobuteo #raptorsofinstagram #birdwatching #naturelovers
