Alternative name: Common Buzzard
Includes Cape Verde Buzzard
- Buteo buteo
Identification
Distribution
The Common Buzzard has a very wide range, breeding in Europe and Asia and several Atlantic islands. The species is partly migratory, with some birds wintering as far south as Africa south of the Sahara.
Taxonomy
About eleven subspecies are currently recognized. Often mentioned is the Steppe Buzzard B. b. vulpinus, an eastern European to northern Asian form in which some members are recognizably different from nominate European birds. No major authorities currently recognize this as a full species, even though reports to the opposite effect can be found on the internet.
