Watch out for this magnificent raptor, soaring in the sky.

A member of the Kites, Hawks and Eagles family it has a fan shaped tail with broad rounded wings.
Buzzards are territorial and stay.
Buzzards are at the top of the food chain and need a strong, healthy and varied landscape as that provides a home for them to live and a home for all the species that they eat such as small mammals, birds, carrion, earthworms and insects.
Breeding success depends on a good food supply and a lack of interference from humans.
Buzzards are here!
