Buzzard

Buteo buteo

The Buzzard, which is currently the most common bird of prey in Britain, is relatively large, featuring broad, rounded wings along with a short neck and tail. While gliding and soaring, it often holds its wings in a shallow 'V' shape, with its tail fanned. A buzzard's plumage ranges from light to dark brown, with dark wingtips and a finely-striped tail.
