These are diurnal birds of prey, with hooked bills and powerful talons adapted to hunting.
Buzzards have short necks, broad wings and fairly short tails.
They're shaped very much like eagles, but are somewhat smaller and have shorter necks. Look for bars on the underwing and tail. The Buzzard is common throughout Europe and seen often in the Beyond region, and it's difficult to distinguish from an eagle. Pernis apivorus 51-58 cm Summers in this region.
