Honey Buzzard

The Honey Buzzard is a bird of prey. This species is more closely related to kites. The 52–60-centimeter (20–24 in)-long honey buzzard is larger and longer winged, with a 135–150-centimeter (53–59 in) wingspan, when compared to the smaller common buzzard.Being a long distance migrant, the Honey Buzzard relies on magnetic orientation to find its way south, as well as a visual memory of remarkable geographical features such as mountain ranges and rivers, along the way. It avoids large expanses of water over which it cannot soar.
