🦉 The common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

• Buteo lat .: buteo buzzard

These birds of prey are not numerous in the forests of my city, but there is one place where I meet them every year. It is a small area of impassable forest, next to which there is a meadow near a hill. And this characterizes their habitat. They live in the forest, nest on the tops of trees, and hunt in open areas.

These birds feed on small rodents, which are very numerous in this place, and their prey also includes small lizards. In addition to them, their diet sometimes includes small birds.
Each year, the pair produces about 3 kids, which always sit on branches near the nest and scream, waiting for their parents with prey.
