The common buzzard, known in Dutch as the buizerd, is one of the most widespread birds of prey in Europe. It is often seen soaring high above forests, fields, and open countryside while searching for food. With its broad wings, short neck, and sharp eyesight, the buzzard is perfectly adapted for life as a hunter.
Its plumage varies greatly between individuals. Some birds are dark brown, while others appear much lighter with pale markings. This variety makes the species especially interesting for birdwatchers.
Buzzards mainly feed on mice, rabbits, insects, and carrion. They usually hunt from the air or from a perch such as a tree or fence post. Instead of relying on speed, they use patience and observation before striking.
During flight, the buzzard often circles gracefully on warm air currents. Its loud call is a familiar sound in many rural areas. Nests are built high in trees using branches and leaves, providing a safe place for raising chicks.
Thanks to legal protection and cleaner environments, populations have recovered strongly in recent decades. Today, the buzzard is an important symbol of healthy ecosystems and thriving wildlife across Europe.
