Common buzzard – Buteo buteo Accipitriformes – Accipitridae<\/p>\n

This is the first publication out of 3 on these birds of prey. Here are 2 of the local buzzards inhabiting our property in the south of France and its surroundings. They have a dark streaky uniform plumage with white feathers lengthwise on the head and neck, widthwise on the breast and the legs. This by opposition to the buzzards coming from the Scandinavian countries to winter down here and which have a much whiter breast; I will show these in a next publication.<\/p>\n

Les Buses variables locales<\/p>\n

Premier volet d’une s\u00e9rie de trois articles sur ce rapace commun dans toute l’Europe.
\nVoici 2 des buses qui r\u00e8gnent sur la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 et les environs imm\u00e9diats \u00e0 longueur d’ann\u00e9e. Elles ont un plumage sombre, uniform\u00e9ment stri\u00e9 de plumes blanches en longueur sur la t\u00eate et le cou, en largeur sur le poitrail et les pattes.Ceci par opposition aux buses qui nous viennent du nord pour hiverner dans un climat plus temp\u00e9r\u00e9 et qui ont un poitrail beaucoup plus blanc mais que vous verrez plus tard.<\/p>\n

It is the most robust bird of prey among the common ones in our region. Under a particularly pronounced arch of the eyebrow, the piercing eyes iris vary from brown to yellowish. Armed with powerful claws, the legs are quite robust too and can seize preys the size of a hare fairly easily.<\/p>\n

C’est le rapace commun le plus trapu de nos r\u00e9gions. Sous une arcade sourcili\u00e8re particuli\u00e8rement prononc\u00e9e, les iris de ses yeux per\u00e7ants varient de brun \u00e0 jaun\u00e2tre. Ses pattes, arm\u00e9es de serres puissantes, sont tr\u00e8s \u00e9paisses et peuvent se saisir de proies de la taille d’un li\u00e8vre sans trop de probl\u00e8mes.<\/p>\n

En vol, elle se distingue des milans royaux et noirs par une queue large et ronde. Dans notre r\u00e9gion elle est surnomm\u00e9e la “buse de piquets” car c’est l\u00e0 qu’elle aime se percher pour garder un \u0153il sur les champs et bordures de routes en qu\u00eate de mulots.<\/p>\n

In flight, the wide and round tail distinguishes it from other raptors such as kites. Down here it is familiarly called the “Post buzzard”: these posts are ideal for them to survey their territory and an eventual prey.<\/p>\n

Bien que prot\u00e9g\u00e9e – comme tous les rapaces depuis 1972 – elle subit encore l’agacement dans les campagnes, ce qui lui vaut un coup de fusil \u00e0 l’occasion car “on” lui reproche (\u00e0 tort ou non) de s’attaquer aux oiseaux d’\u00e9levage comme les cailles, perdreaux ou jeunes faisans; mais cela reste occasionnel car de grands filets recouvrent ces \u00e9levages aujourd’hui.<\/p>\n

Although protect since 1972 in France, it gets shot once in a while by farmers raising pheasants and quails.<\/p>\n
