The Life of Buzzards

This is essential reading for all raptor ecologists and enthusiasts, conservation bodies, landowners with game-rearing interests and other land managers, as well as anyone with an interest in birds, conservation and wildlife. This book provides an authoritative account of Common Buzzards gained from extensive studies by the author over 60 years and also from enthusiasts in this country and across northern Europe. It describes the life history and ecology of Buzzards mainly inhabiting the British uplands, where historically they have always been most numerous. It also looks at how well Buzzards have adapted to living in our modern and rapidly-changing landscapes, constantly adapting their habits in response to prey resources and environmental conditions.
