Common Buzzard #9952

The Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a medium to large bird of prey, whose range covers most of Europe. This broad-winged raptor has a wide variety of plumages, and in Europe can be confused with the similar Rough-legged Buzzard (Buteo lagopus) and the only distantly related Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus), which mimics the Common Buzzard's plumage for a degree of protection from Northern Goshawks. The plumage can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale 'necklace' of feathers. This photograph was taken along the shoreline at Loch Spelve, Isle Of Mull.

Captive Common Buzzard # 1697

Visited Falconary Scotland at Jedforest Deer Park to get the opportunity to get up close to a few of the displaying raptors. My afternoon session with resident falconar Mohammed Soliman included the common buzzard, Little owl and a special five week old Peregrine Falcon chick. This was the falcons first outdoor experience. See video section for some footage.
