Presented pictures of an European Honey Buzzard have a documentary value. They were taken on my way back from photographing the badger juveniles, when I saw a flying bird while driving a car. Story is almost the same like with pictures of an osprey. However, the bird’s picture was clear enough so I decided to start a gallery. Who knows, I might be lucky enough and I will manage to photograph it on the right background, when he is attacked by insects defending themselves from being eaten. Pictures with an offsetting blue sky is probably the worst possible option. Body mass of the European Honey Buzzard is around 700 grams with a wingspan of around 1.5 meters. So, from the distance it resembles the often spotted buzzard.

After five years, my second contact with the honey buzzard took place. It was alike the first, looking at photographic results. The bird soared above my head, but this time I recorded the sound the birds made while gliding.
