🦉 The common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

• Buteo lat .: buteo buzzard

I meet a family of these birds of prey every year in the same spot. And this place is difficult to pass, filled with windbreaks, a flooded area with mud. This is where they nest. However, they hunt not far from this place, where tall coniferous trees are located, and nearby there is a small lawn, an open area and a hill.

Obviously, in such places it is easier and more convenient for them to hunt small rodents, because thanks to the open area they are clearly visible.
And as a rule, a couple of parents are hunting, and one or two teenagers are sitting in the trees waiting for their parents with prey. But they do not sit quietly like other birds, but constantly scream.
