As with the bearded vulture and the steppe eagle also this bird did not landed in front of the lookout point. Steppe buzzards circled above the lookout and I managed to take the first pictures of this bird. Then during the journey to the place of shooting egyptian vulture we could watch this bird cycling high in the sky. It was certainly a rarity and in the area of our shooting it occurred considerably less often than long-legged buzzard. In size it is very similar to our buzzard, occurring in Western Europe.

The first photos of this bird I took in Turkey almost three years ago. Being in South Africa I had the opportunity to make changes in the gallery of this species, radical changes indeed. Buzzards were not as numerous as yellow-billed kites but their number was sufficient to take the pictures that better show the representatives of this species
