Found across Europe, Asia, and Africa, the common buzzard is a medium sized raptor. It is often confused for other birds like the red kite and the golden eagle because of its colour and size.
Even though the looks confuse you, a common buzzard can easily be identified by its call: it has a very distinctive call, like a cat’s mew.
The common buzzard adopts a distinctive shape in flight. When soaring and gliding, its tail is fanned and its wings are often held in a shallow ‘V’. Though a solitary bird, it joins flocks during migration.
Common buzzards are carnivores; they eat birds, small mammals, and carrion. However, they do not starve when these are not available; in dire situations, they resort to earthworms and large insects.
