Common Buzzard Sighted in Northern Borders Region

The common buzzard (Buteo buteo) was sighted navigating the skies of Northern Borders Region, contributing to the ecological balance in one of the Kingdom's richest regions for biodiversity.

 It is a migratory bird, noted for its medium to large body and broad wings that enable high soaring and precise dives onto prey, which includes small birds, reptiles, and insects.

 The common buzzard demonstrates unique environmental adaptability, thriving in diverse habitats from mountains to open plains, making it both widespread and flexible. A distinct type, the Socotra buzzard (Buteo socotraensis), illustrates its geographical and genetic diversity.

 Environmental authorities in Northern Borders Region, together with wildlife enthusiasts, are monitoring the common buzzard as part of efforts to preserve biodiversity and document wild species inhabiting the region’s natural environments.
