My Buzzard Photo Gallery

Buzzards are common birds of prey in Europe, but the ferruginous hawk (koningsbuizerd) at Falconcrest comes all the way from Canada and is part of the birds of prey breeding program. Close to the birds of prey park a group of presently five wild buzzards have, what appears to be, a nesting colony. They can be seen circling in the thermals above the park in the afternoons, and if the park is quite will even come down and accept a snack. The buzzard 'Amigo' is the first buzzard I have come to know and a well mannered male, very friendly and always curious.
