Common Buzzard

Common Buzzard, Newton, 24th December 2013 © Matthew Mellor
'....Common Buzzard that I took in the parish of, I think, Newton (by the Newton to Fowlmere Road).  Its markings are strange, and if I read the Collins Guide properly, they are consonant with Common Buzzards found in N Germany / S Sweden.  It’s no wonder the French for Buzzard is “buse variable”.'
