🌍🌏 Common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

The common buzzard is a medium-sized bird of prey with broad wings and a short tail. Its plumage varies greatly, from dark brown to paler shades, often with a light chest. They are widespread across Europe, and increasingly common in the UK, inhabiting woodlands, farmlands, and uplands. Buzzards soar on thermals, often seen circling overhead, and have a distinctive mewing call. They primarily hunt small mammals, but also take birds and insects. Eleven subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
