	Common Buzzard, Buteo buteo
		The buzzard, although not a native of the Eastern Counties, is apt to appear in both Lincolnshire and Norfolk from time to time.
		Yet, the buzzard does not exist in such numbers for it to be a constant danger to the game preserves, and quite rightly it has been placed upon the list of protected birds.
		The buzzard will also feed on carrion, a fact that often brings the blame on to it for a killing for which it was not responsible.

	Common Buzzard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buzzards are the largest bird of prey to be found in most of England.
		Buzzards do not normally form flocks, but several may be seen together on migration or in good habitat.
		The term "buzzard" only applies to birds of prey when intended as a derogatory epithet, specifically for raptors that are considered pests, such as the Red-tailed Hawks and Peregrine Falcons.

		The Common Buzzard is found throughout Europe and Russia, spreading down to Turkey and the Northern tip of Africa, and to the west as far as the Pacific Coast.
		Common Buzzards are often found wintering in countries such as the Philippines (where it is a protected species), Hong Kong, Thailand and Japan.
		Buzzards are relatively unmanoeuvrable in the air, the mobbing birds get above the buzzard and force it to the ground, occasionally a small group of larger birds can kill the buzzard, usually with their sharp beaks.

	The Buzzard, BirdCheck.co.uk
		The way in which the Buzzard procures moles is, it is said, by watching patiently by their haunts, until the moving of the earth caused by their subterraneous burrowings, points out to him their exact locality, and the knowledge of it thus acquired he immediately takes advantage of to their destruction.
		The yelping note of the Common Buzzard is wild and striking, its shrillness conveying a melancholy idea, though as every feeling of melancholy produced by any thing in nature must be, of a pleasing kind—when heard in the retired situations in which this bird delights.
		The Buzzard is extremely fond, even in captivity, of the task of incubation: one at Uxbridge, a female, brought up safely several broods of chickens, to which she proved a most kind and careful foster-mother.

		In North America, members of the true buzzard genus are often called buteos to avoid confusion with the older use of buzzard as a synonym for the Turkey Vulturejimfbleak 05:21 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
		The American Black Vulture is still commonly called a "fl buzzard" (at least in my experience), and the Turkey Vulture is called a "turkey buzzard" just as often as it's called a turkey vulture.
		To a Brit, using "buzzard" to refer to an owl, rather than a diurnal bird of prey seems odd.

	Honey Buzzard Jizz
		The largest Common Buzzards appear to be significantly heavier (25-30%) than the largest Honey Buzzards while there is little difference for the smallest (or leanest) of each species.
		Honey Buzzards in their breeding areas, once they have recovered from the spring migration, are therefore likely to look solider than those on migration.
		If you look at Common Buzzard all day, as we do with hundreds in the area and the population through the roof, you try and pick out a Honey Buzzard from a bunch straight-away as being rock stable while the Common Buzzard is rocking about.

		Hunched, motley and impressively sized, the common buzzard speaks of the wild hills and mountains far to the west side of Britain, where it sought refuge through two centuries of human persecution.
		This represents a huge turnaround—the so-called "common" buzzard was once actually extremely scarce, having been almost wiped out by farmers and gamekeepers who considered it a pest.
		Buzzards also feed on other small mammals, invertebrates, and carrion, but it's the impact of soaring buzzard numbers on other birds that's become the focus of debate.

		The Common Buzzard is a medium sized Raptor with broad, rounded wings and a fairly short tail which it uses to soar and glide effortlessly over hills and valleys.
		During the late 1950s, Buzzard numbers were dramatically reduced when myxomatosis wiped out 99% of the rabbit population, so depriving it of its major source of food.
		The Buzzard has since been able to exploit other sources of food including voles, young birds, amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates, and is now beginning to re-colonise its old range.

	Moult in Honey Buzzard and Common Buzzard
		A 'buzzard' from June to mid-July (before Common Buzzard juveniles fledge) with no primary moult is most likely a Honey Buzzard male (or late starting Honey Buzzard female).
		A 'buzzard' from mid-July to September with no primary moult is either a Honey Buzzard adult/juvenile or a Common Buzzard juvenile.
		A 'buzzard' family party in late August or early September containing only full-winged birds must be considered as a strong contender for being that of a Honey Buzzard.

		This qualifying remark, however, it must be noted, is made with reference to a claim put forth in behalf of the character of this bird, to rescue it from the sweeping condemnation under which the preceding species has in like manner fallen.
		It is always easily distinguishable by its legs being feathered down to the toes, and by the preservation more or less, in all varieties, of the white at the base of the tail, and, in most specimens, the white on the middle, and the dark brown patch on the lower part of the breast.

		Nor is the word “buzzard” used in the book’s descriptions of the turkey vulture and the fl vulture, even though many people refer to both species as buzzards.
		By the 1400s falconers in England were applying the word “buzzard” to England’s one resident buteo (Buteo buteo), which to this day is called the common buzzard or, simply, buzzard on both sides of the pond.
		No, this stork was named “buzzard” after the vultures that could be seen in the area, because like the vultures the wood stork is a high and frequent soarer and its long-beaked head does have a certain vulturine quality.
