🌎 Red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus)

The red-shouldered hawk is a medium-sized bird of prey found in North America. It has distinctive reddish-brown shoulders and a barred pattern on its underparts. Known for its piercing call, this hawk prefers wooded habitats near water sources where it hunts small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. It is an agile flier and builds its nest in the canopy of trees. The Red-shouldered hawk plays an important role in controlling rodent populations and is considered a symbol of healthy ecosystems. Five subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

🌍🌏 Common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

The common buzzard is a medium-sized bird of prey with broad wings and a short tail. Its plumage varies greatly, from dark brown to paler shades, often with a light chest. They are widespread across Europe, and increasingly common in the UK, inhabiting woodlands, farmlands, and uplands. Buzzards soar on thermals, often seen circling overhead, and have a distinctive mewing call. They primarily hunt small mammals, but also take birds and insects. Eleven subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

A wood pigeon sitting on brown leaf-covered green grass, facing to the left of the picture, and seen in close up in the right half. Behind it is a dark shadowy area. The bird is grey, with purple/pink and white bits.

A buzzard perched on a wooden electricity pylon, with a blue/grey sky behind. The bird is facing mostly towards us, and is mostly dark brown, with a white chest area, and white markings elsewhere.

A portrait orientation photo looking towards the arch of an old railway viaduct, high in the middle of the picture against a blue sky. Below is a dark river, with the sky and arch reflected in it. To the sides and in front are autumnal coloured trees.

A dipper bird standing mid/right in the picture, on a rock in a swirling river. The bird is facing to the left/away from us, and has a dark brown body, and white neck/chest area.

Some #photos from my husband's Wednesday #walk in mid/west #Dundee, #Scotland. Have to include some of the amazing #buzzards he saw, including flying above #DundeeLaw, as well as his view from there towards #BroughtyCastle and the #BellRockLighthouse beyond. #Photography #BroughtyFerry #Tayside #Angus #Seaside #Tay #RiverTay #Lighthouse #BellRock #Buzzard #Birds #Birding #BirdPhotography #BirdingPhotography #Castle #Castles #NorthSea #Tunnel #Tunnels #Wood #Woods #RailwayHistory #RailwayTunnels

An old tunnel, decorated outside with bright paintings of birds, plants and flowers. Through the tunnel a circular ringed green wooded path can be seen.

A buzzard seen from below flying with its wings and tail feathers spread wide. Its tail is light and brown, its wide wings much darker in places.

The flow of migratory soaring #Birds continues and with careful positioning we have been right in the flow of this migration party!

Experiencing thousands of soaring Egyptian #Vultures, Booted and Short-toed #Eagles, European Honey #Buzzards, Montagu´s and Marsh #Harriers, Black Kites and Black and White #Storks all coming together overhead to make the challenging crossing of The #Straits.

Awesome #FlywayBirding!

Our guests have been enjoying some magical #FlywayBirding here at the epicentre of migration in The #Straits !

A near constant flow of European Honey #Buzzards, shadowed by the ever flowing Black #Kites, increasing numbers of Booted and Short-toed #Eagles, Egyptian #Vultures, Montagu’s #Harriers, Black #Storks with dazzling arrays of White Storks in their thousands !

This IS the #migration party to be at !

Here a migrating Booted Eagle takes a swerve to check us out ☺️

Y’day with a strengthening #levante near #Tarifa where masses of Black #Kites and European Honey #Buzzards were gathering due to the wind as they danced over our heads!

Then a visit to las #marismas where we encountered migratory #shorebirds including Little #Stints and Curlew #Sandpipers as we observed Audouin’s and Slender-billed #Gulls!

The Northern Bald #Ibis came into to greet us and we also encountered migrants from the #campo like this juv Woodchat #Shrike and Eurasian #Hoopoe.

The team with Northern Bald Ibis behind chilling !

Looking down into a river with a diagonal split bottom left to top right. At the top left white glints from the sun dominate. At the bottom right is an interesting reddish/brown rock.

A small round wren singing in a tree, facing to the right. It is brown coloured, with applied wings. Its beak is wide open, singing loudly.

A buzzard viewed from behind in a green tree, partially obscured. It almost looks like a giant pine cone! But its beak is visible, and its distinctive markings on its tail.

A starling sitting on a branch in a tree with another starling behind, against a white sky. The bird's dappled black/white tummy is very visible, as well as its stripey wings and dark head.

Yesterday the wind dropped allowing the gateway of The #Straits to open for 226 Griffon #Vultures to cross carrying with them 2 imm Rüppell´s Vultures! (one ringed)

Also crossing imm Egyptian Vulture, 15 Booted #Eagles, 7 Short-toed Eagles, 44 Black #Kites and 3 European Honey #Buzzards!

A tagged 1º Black #Stork named Fénix hatched in Madrid last year also made the journey having travelled 11,370km since fledging!

The raging fire ! We are in absolute admiration of the bomberos and other organisations helping to defeat this beast! ©️ Inglorious Bustards

Another great day of #FlywayBirding here today as immature #Birds made up the vast majority of those crossing the #14km divide !

European Honey #Buzzards, Black #Kites, Booted and Short-toed #Eagles, Marsh Harrier and Griffon #Vultures flowing over our heads ! 😊

The passage of #raptors continues with returning Eurasian Griffon #Vultures powering across The #Straits.

The tagged White-backed #Vulture at the Jbel Moussa on the Moroccan coast of The Straits looked to attempt to cross into Europe today but bottled it!

So STILL 2 White-backed and 4 Rüppell´s Vultures tantalising close Europe!

Over 600 Griffon Vultures alongside European Honey #Buzzards, Booted and Short-toed #Eagles, Black #Kites and more were much less hesitant!

With continued strong #levante wind making the #14km crossing from Africa to Europe even more treacherous for these migratory #WindWarriors the drive to defiantly get to the breeding grounds continues regardless !

The flow of European Honey #Buzzards attracting their own dedicated admirers, we are of course among them!

A Western Black-eared #Wheatear did cause us briefly to avert our gaze from the flow of #raptors!

With the light-to-moderate #poniente wind we had a nice flow of soaring migrants down the eastern side of The #Straits today with building numbers of European Honey #Buzzards alongside Short-toed and Booted #Eagles, Egyptian #Vultures, Black #Storks, returning Griffon Vultures and more!
