2025 7 March undefined buteo bahariye island eyüpsultan. Behavior and characteristics of the undefined buteo bird (2 Viewers)

What a curious thread...
Salih, the best course of action would be to submit your sighting along with your notes (including a link to this thread for balance) to the national records committee and await the outcome of their findings. Whilst you are at it you may as well submit your Forster's tern record too. The outcome will be the same for both.
Trakuş or Türkiye Bird Committee is not very good at birds. Even approving a bird takes a very long time. In Europe, it is both shorter and there are more bird experts to approve a bird.While bird watching in Turkey started in 2000, it dates back to the 1200s in Europe.

a I scanned forsters in all artificial intelligence applications and they all said sterna forsters. I used all the scanners such as sterna forsters confirming applications, merlin, bird id, bird picture, inaturalist, birds aves and google lens. I read a lot of articles. I researched their behavior.

I know wasting my breath, but I fired all the images of your tern into PictureBird and it says Common Tern for each, which coincides with what everyone else was telling you.

Additionally as I said before, PictureBird identified all photos of your buzzard as Common Buzzard.

The AI apps are not that reliable, but they are getting better.
When the apps consistently suggest the most common option across multiple images, there's a very high chance it's got it right.
It is just tool though to give you an idea.

I look at apps and bird identifications and bird behavior and habitat articles and look at recent similar species photos. I decide by looking at more than a hundred photos and sometimes it can take a week or even 6 months. To determine the species
