The European buzzard is very territorial and once they find a partner is is for their whole life. Buzzards build their nests in trees in the Springtime and during the breeding season they with defend their nest with a passion. Two to four eggs are layed and they take 28 to 38 days to hatch. After seven weeks the young buzzards leave the nest. Buzzards can reach an of up to 26 years in the wild.
