The Common Buzzard - Buteo buteo
can usually be found hunting over open land throughout its range across Europe into Asia.
They eat mainly small mammals but will take a varied diet of snakes, lizards, pheasant and rabbit.
The males perform a spectacular aeriel display to attract a mate before the begginning of spring. This performance is known as the "roller coaster" where the male will rise up high in the sky and the soar down in a spiral.
