WHITE-EYED BUZZARD

 WHITE-EYED BUZZARD



Size: Like a crow.  30-38 CM 17"

Some birds of prey are a little easier to identify, one of them being a white-nosed diso, the main sign being two, one, a black vertical stripe between the white necks, splitting the white part of the neck in two.  The second sign (seen when seen closely) is his very pale yellow, almost white-eyed eye.  Apart from this, the blemish on the ode is also an additional sign.  When it flies, a large light gray spot appears on the wing.  The upper body is brown and somewhere in it White, petal white with vertical and horizontal lines.  The tail is a bit long.  Males - females alike.  

Bird of open fields, thorns and farmland.

Sitting on a field or on a roadside tree, telephone or electricity pole, he would sit on the ground and look at rats, cockroaches, lizards, squirrels, locusts, etc.  Flight a little faster.  Sometimes it is seen flying a little above the ground.  Birds of prey are mostly shy.  It flies away as if it sees someone.  White is not like that.  Lets take a closer look.

Its breeding season is from December to May.  At that time, males and females fly in different directions, dive into each other in the air and climb back up at the same speed.  The sound resembles sugar but a little harsh.  He says ‘T..to, T..to’.  Arrange the wreaths in the trees.
