This "micro" documentary on the Common Buzzard is excellent. Full of facts, well presented and produced. Thank you Neo & Naomi.

This young lady should be a top TV presenter!! A lovely interesting voice! Beautiful little documentary! Many thanks ♥️

Here in Tipperary Ireland we have had an explosion of them in just the past 5 years.. Cant believe how quickly there numbers have grown really.. Me and my dad take great interest in there behaviour. My dads a hunter but doesn't mind them at all.. In fact last year he found one injured we think, in the field behind our house.. Big field next door to a fairy fort where a big family of them are nesting !! Dad walks his hunting dogs in that area every evening.. He spotted the young female on the ground but instead of flying away, she just hopped into the bushes.. Same thing the next evening, she was in the same place and just hopped into the hedge to get away from him.. The next day we came to the conclusion that something was wrong with her, so he shot a rabbit and offered her bits of it.. She pounced on the carcass bits he gave her and eat it very quickly.. The day after she was gone.. Hopefully not taken by a fox.. Not sure what was wrong with her.. We thought maybe a damaged wing or got kicked out of the nest maybe..

I saved a buzzard from my swimming pool today and I live in Riverside, California. I am taking him to a wild bird rescue tomorrow; my experience with him has been great as he is gentle and allowed us to help him.

We live in South West Scotland and hardly a day goes by without seeing one buzzard. We have a game: the first person to see a buzzard each day has to shout out "buzzard" to win.

Beautiful birds. This is brilliant content and you deserve many many more subscribers!

What a beautiful and graceful bird, I see loads of buzzards in the woodlands nearby, along with Red Kites too, great documentary btw.

You are an excellent presenter. Keep up your great work Naomi.

Saw a hovering buzzard today, over a field beside a motorway (South East Ireland). It dived for a kill... I was rather distracted and meant to be driving. I've seen buzzards many times around the areas I grew up in Scotland, but my passengers were dubious at my instant ident, especially considering I was doing 100kph at the time! This was the best video I could find to back up my classification. Thank you!

Great video. Here where I live in Ireland, I saw 6 of them flying over my house yesterday. Most I’ve ever seen, and suggests they’re thriving here. I love that plaintive call they make - so unique and wonderful. Long may it last.

this video should have far more views than it has .. brilliant info

Fantastic! What a beautiful creature. Love seeing the buzzards and red kites when I’m hiking.

Lovely video, interesting and very well delivered. Thank you for the work you do.

I’m a veterinary student from Italy. I’m doing an experimental study as my degree’s thesis, this video was really interesting. Love from Pisa

This is a great video. Thank you! I live in South Leicestershire and we have a small wooded area that backs on to wider farmland. There has been a breeding pair in there (I have seen others as well) for a good few years. The female is a huge bird and can often frighten you to death if you are walking through the woods and she swoops past through the low trees.

Saw one today close up with my eyes. It was feeding on a roadkill. I had to Google it because this isn't my field. At first I thought it was an eagle. It was a big beautiful thing. More impressive than the Kestrel which are common on the south downs. Sussex countryside has great wildlife.

Well made informative info. First time I saw a pair of these common buzzards I think . They were high in the skylines close to my house near Leicester city. I was hooked seeing them gliding and swaying and showing off diving effortlesly. My daughter loved watching them.

I was driving on the motorway the other day and saw a huge bird fly in front of my windscreen! It was too big to be a sparrow-hawk so it had to be a buzzard! These guys are definitely bigger than what some pictures make out to be!

I saw a Buzzard high up in a tree today in Green Park, Bath, Somerset! I viewed it through my binoculars- I was thrilled to see it! Thank you for this wonderful informative video!! Many thanks for sharing!!!!

This is an amazing video! Very interesting, thank you for making it.

Excellent! Love this. There are buzzards with a nest close to my house and I hear them calling every day so it's nice hearing what they actually do. Thank you!

Very well documented i really enjoyed it

Beautiful documentary, well done ❣️👌

Great vid, very interesting thank you. Love seeing buzzards, they look so majestic. they have become a lot more common where I live. 10 years back it was so rare to see one. Now I see one most days and even saw twelve circling together not long back.

Hi I see a buzzard circling and flying high above Willesden north west London. There are many seagulls here and they all scatter when the buzzard is flying. Such a joy to see it here in the city. Not sure if it is a buzzard but it fly's very high and circles are cruises around for a long time

Superb Naomi! Looking forward to more in this series. Nicely shot and edited. :)

What magnificent birds they are. Very insightful, thank you.

Thanks, very informative.

These are my favorite birds! Sadly in Benelux they've gotten a bit of a bad name because they have attacked hikers quite often. But i love them! I've only seen them like 2-3 times in the wild so far. Hope i spot another one soon!

I often see Buzzards in the area I live there was one flying over as I was on my way into town then I saw one again where I went walking towards Rivington near Chorley flying in circles around tall trees in a field calling out they are beautiful birds and fascinating

Great docomentary.very informative,its so good to see the numbers increasing. Thanks for posting,best wishes🦉

Great video, thank you so much for putting it together. full of facts and figures that I didn't know. i live in the midlands (Worcestershire) and our Buzzard population has really increased in the last few years, I really enjoy seeing them soar overhead, so graceful.

Great Stuff. Very good videos.

Hi everyone at the falconry wishing you all a Happy New year best wishes keep up the great work that you do .

Cheers, you do great work ,tha is for the deeper understanding of this lovley and original buteo

Excellent! 👏🏻

I'm in Wiltshire and I see buzzards most days. They are shooed off my area by gulls they sound like cats in combat 👍🏻 Neo is gorgeous, and although I love to see buzzards, they are being overtaken in our area by red kites.

thank you! subbed

I've believe I've just seen two again above my home 🏡 🙏 They are fantastic to see & one took a fast dive wings folded together & was moving very fast, I've seen other birds go far in 180° to avoid them, flying together beautiful to see

Beautiful 😍

I seen 13 of these today, and a pair of peregrines.

Really interesting thank you! Learned a lot! We live in a small rural town in Somerset with a small amount of woodland just off the town centre. We’ve seen the same buzzard many times recently even very close to the centre of town by the river. Think it’s a male and seems not to be bothered at all by people.

Always been a lover of the buzzard .great clip thanks for that. From wales didn't see too many in my area mainly kestrels. Moved to Dublin didn't see too many either . Now in poland and every day they are practically on my doorstep fantastic to watch with a distinctive calling sound. . And one or two surprisingly big or look bigger . I am a bit surprised that I have heard a calling sound and have seen 4 together within minutes of the call is this common as I thought they separated. Or would it have still been the young coming together. Maybe someone could explain .

I have a beading pair on my land and they are quite clever at spotting me, with the mower and catching the rodents that flee.

Nice one

really like you're contect

Thank you so much for this micro documentary on Buteo Buteo. When is the maxi version coming out? I live in rural Nottinghamshire, and in April in a certain place I have seen up to 14 Buzzards all soaring at different heights in the same place. Will these be family groups or courting couples?

Very similar to our red tailed hawk in North America. I always wondered why some 'birders' seem unimpressed by the CB. They are beautiful and very successful.

I enjoyed that. I would have thought the tawny owl is the most common bird of prey. I hear several Tawny Owls every single night. And I live in a town on the west coast were there is not many trees. I haven’t seen a buzzard in years and the last time I did see one was in the country side. I’ve seen more peregrine falcons in the last 10 years than I have saw any other bird of prey. I see them in my town breeding on a tall spire in my town. Given time I think peregrines will become almost as common as tawny owls and buzzards. Theres plenty of tall buildings to nest on and plenty of pigeons for prey. We can only hope. Fingers crossed.🤞

Hello Naomi. I came across your video as I am searching for some answers about buzzards that puzzles me. My girlfriend and I live in the country and we are surrounded by buzzards. Somedays I can see 5 or 6 of them all soaring at the same time right where we live. We are runners and have a great amount of trails we can access right from our front door. The access to all of the trails is via a track just 300 metres from our house. The first 50 metres of the track passes between some tall trees before emerging into open fields. For the past few years, I have found that a buzzard has been swooping down over my head as I pass through the trees. It comes really close to my head, about 20 - 30cms and really makes me jump as it swooshes past. This is not just an isolted incidence, I run 2 - 3 times a week and the buzzard goes for me about 1 time in 3. Just recently this activity has changed. The buzzard is now physically attacking me and my girlfriend with its talons. Before I enter into the trees, I look all around in the sky and tree tops. I never see it but it just silently swoops down out of nowhere through the trees and whacks me on the back of the head. It's first attack is always from behind, its like being hit with a baseball bat. Then it repeatedly attacks until we leave the trees. My girlfriend was attacked a week ago and is now terrified of going through those trees. I am assuming it is one solitary bird doing this but don't know if it is male or female. My question is why would it do this? Why does it see us as a threat? I have looked at all the treetops in that location and I don't see any obvious nesting sites. Besides, it is not nesting season and this happens year round. I never see the buzzards sitting in these trees, I'm guessing that when it attacks it comes from some distance away as they fly so fast. There was one instance when I went running down a lane in a different direction but still about 300 metres from home and the buzzard got me there as well.

I currently am looking after a common buzzard , Approximately one year old He was found laid in a field with one leg missing ,The vets wanted to euthanise him saying he would probably not survive in the wild so I decided to take him in , it’s only been a few months but he’s doing well and now seems to be settling in and calm around me .

I saw a pair from a bus, between Winterton and Somerton, Norfolk.

They don't bother with rats or mice here more fond of our pheasants partridge and other birds

I see them every day on the farm where I live in Herefordshire. This documentary has really helped me to understand them. One question. Are they territorial? Am I seeing the same pair?

I wonder the extent to which they compete against Red Kites, which have exploded in number recently.

Amazing video! I've been seeing 3 young birds similar to young buzzards hunting around my house. I live in thee city of Brussels, so that seemed odd. What do you think?

Really informative video. I learned a lot. We have the privilege of having a beautiful Buzzard that lives around our land in East of England. Think it must be a female as she is very large and flies around continuously calling. Is she trying to find a mate?

I always confuse these guys for hawks.

One just swoop in my back garden trying to catch the baby starlings. Amazing but so scary as it was huge and had to distract it away. Will it come back now it knows they are there?

Are they good ratters

Silly question. Is the 'gizzard' also called a 'crop'?

Do buzzards make good companion birds. A bird less prey driven then a Harris goshawk let’s say? Could it be trained to a good standard to fly casually and obviously try to catch the prey item from time to time? But not purely trained for hunting?

Can you train them for hunt

I'm looking to entice one for photos but would the eat chicken thighs? would love to leave them something to eat and photograph them. Excellent video.

A buzzard or a sparrowhawk hunts in my garden 🧐

Merci pour la vidéo de la buse variable ps Je suis belge j'ai observé un nid de buse variable et j'ai comprend pas anglais dommage je comprends que le français 😉

The guys trying to catch raptor killers need to step up their game. How many pictures of trapped and killed birds do you need. Photo the killers or get people that can.

Funny question, why the freaking hell is this bird being called a buzzard in the first place? In the Americas they are known as hawks much like the Accipiterines. Is it because they mob people who come too close to their nests? Is it because they make a buzzing sound when they are flying or singing? Or is it some kind of unlucky superstition? Or was this bird used to be just a nickname for them?

Nice one,shame they kill them in parts of the country. lovely birds i try to photograph them every day,yep 7 days a week.

got imprint male wild tame hack

Call me blind, but I see a scaled down golden eagle.

Looks like a hawk not buzzard.
