Many people have shared their observations of buzzards this year with others through the home page of the Year of the Buzzard as well as through various databases. Many thanks to you!
The end of the Year of the Buzzard is a good time to check how these observations have completed our knowledge, and to make some summaries. To start with, our website shows in which habitats three buzzard species can be found: LINK
The habitats of buzzards are discussed in the November issue of „Eesti Looduse“ and in the soon to be published Hirundo. These and other articles and TV and radio features that delve deeper into the world of buzzards can also be found by way of the website of the Year of the Buzzard: LINK
Rough-legged buzzard
In winter we can meet either common buzzards or rough-legged buzzards. The honey buzzard arrives to Estonia in April. See how to distinguish the buzzards from each other: LINK
