The Jackal Buzzard is a colourful buzzard originating from Southern Africa. It can be found along mountain sides and adjacent grasslands and savannah. it can take a wide range of prey such as lizards, ground dwelling birds and carrion, however small ground mammals are preferred, particularly during the breeding season.
A robust Buzzard, found in Northern Africa, Southeastern Europe, West and central Asia and across to central India. Long-legged Buzzards inhabit open, uncultivated areas, such as steppe, semi-desert and dry scrub. Small rodents are their main diet, but will also take large insects, reptiles and small birds.
A dynamic woodland and forest hunter. Our female, having previously demonstrated their quick dash hunting technique, has gone on to breed regularly in recent years, all on view to visitors in the pair’s aviary and on CCTV.
A hawk-like buzzard from the Southern USA and Central and South America. In more northerly parts they will regularly hunt and breed in small family groups. This and their flying style makes them popular falconry and display birds.
An eagle sized buzzard from the hills and mountains of South America. Female and Male birds of the same age have identical markings, but the size difference is huge. Lulu weighs almost 50% more than Saus.
Felix demonstrates how these South American buzzards soar as they search for a variety of small prey. Adult plumage is variable and very different to his current juvenile markings. In 2020 our pair of Re-backed Hawks were the first to breed in the UK.
Found in many habitats through most of North America. After being bred here several years earlier and flown succesfully as a hunting bird, Jaffer has recently come back to the centre to join our displays.
From the dry, open grasslands of Western North America. Small mammals make up most of the diet, with Prairie Dogs being a regular meal. Our pair regularly breed and Icarus can be seen on one of our daily flying displays.
Breeding in western North America before overwintering in the grasslands of southern South America, they have one of the longest migration routes. Eddie, hatched here, is currently in training to demonstrate how they soar to great heights.
Breeding in woodland and searching for small mammals and carrion in open countryside, wild Common Buzzards are a regular sight over the centre. To see them up close, we have a breeding pair and Ivy who flies in the displays.
