Buzzard
The Buzzard (Buteo buteo) AKA: Common Buzzard is the commonest UK bird of prey, it is quite large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail.

Turn on your computer speakers to hear its call.

When gliding and soaring it will often hold its wings in a shallow 'V'. It is variable in colour from all dark brown to birds with pale heads and breasts, all have dark wingtips and an unbanded tail.

Although the greatest populations are in Scotland, Wales, the Lake District and SW England they are resident in the Pelhams. Look for birds soaring high in lazy circles over wooded hillsides in fine weather, or perched on fence posts and pylons.
