The common buzzard is a member of the genus " Buteo " , a group of medium-sized raptors with robust bodies and broad wings .


The " Buteo " species of Eurasia and Africa are usually commonly referred to as " buzzards " while those in the Americas are called hawks .


Under current classification , the genus includes approximately 28 species , the second most diverse of all extant accipitrid genera behind only " Accipiter " .


DNA testing shows that the common buzzard is fairly closely related to the red-tailed hawk ( " Buteo jamaicensis " ) of North America , which occupies a similar ecological niche to the buzzard in that continent .


Nonetheless , fossils dating earlier than 5 million year old ( the late Miocene period ) showed " Buteo " species were present in Europe much earlier than that would imply , although it cannot be stated to a certainty that these would ’ve been related to the extant buzzards .


DNA testing has indicated that these insular buzzards are actually more closely related to the long-legged buzzard ( " Buteo rufinus " ) than to the common buzzard .


Non-breeding populations occur , either as migrants or wintering birds , in southwestern India , Israel , Lebanon , Syria , Egypt ( northeastern ) , northern Tunisia ( and far northwestern Algeria ) , northern Morocco , near the coasts of The Gambia , Senegal and far southwestern Mauritania and Ivory Coast ( and bordering Burkina Faso ) .


In England , 96 % of first-years moved in winter to less than from their natal site .


In Bulgaria , the mean wintering density was 0.34 individual per square kilometer , and buzzards showed a preference for agricultural over forested areas .


Similar habitat preferences were recorded in northeastern Romania , where buzzard density was 0.334 – 0.539 individuals per square kilometer .

In Murcia , the most numerous prey was the ocellated lizard ( " Timon lepidus " ) , at 32.9 % .


In Bari , Italy , reptiles were the main prey , making up almost exactly half of the biomass , led by the large green whip snake ( " Hierophis viridiflavus " ) , maximum size up to , at 24.2 % of food mass .

There are a couple cases of predation of fish detected in the Netherlands , while elsewhere they 've been known to have fed upon eels and carp .


Rough-legged buzzards appear to prefer slightly more open habitat and took slightly fewer wood mice than common buzzard .


In northern Germany , the buffer of their habitat preferences apparently accounted for the lack of effect on each other 's occupancy between the two buzzard species .


A more direct negative effect has been found in buzzard 's co-existence with northern goshawk ( " Accipiter gentilis " ) .


In Poland , buzzards productivity was correlated to prey population variations , particularly voles which could vary from 10 – 80 per hectare , whereas goshawks were seemingly unaffected by prey variations ; buzzards were found here to number 1.73 pair per against goshawk 1.63 pair per .


Species such as the black kite ( " Milvus migrans " ) , booted eagle ( " Hieraeetus pennatus " ) and the lesser spotted eagle have been known to displace actively nesting buzzards , although in some cases the buzzards may attempt to defend themselves .


The most serious predator of common buzzards , however , is almost certainly the Eurasian eagle-owl ( " Bubo bubo " ) .


In the Czech Republic and in Luxembourg , the buzzard was the third and fifth most frequent prey species for eagle-owls , respectively .


The reintroduction of eagle-owls to sections of Germany has been found to have a slight deleterious effect on the local occupancy of common buzzards .

Furthermore , a few ground nests were recorded in high prey-level agricultural areas in the Netherlands .


Laying dates are remarkably constant throughout Great Britain .


At least 238 common buzzards killed through persecution were recovered in England from 1975 to 1989 , largely through poisoning .
