    Crested Honey Buzzard(Pernis ptilorhynchus) 29.01.2021 Nad Al Sheba2

    in UAE bird sightings

    My attention was drawn to this sighting when seated quietly in my garden, totally unaware, I heard a commotion just above me in a Ficus tree. Low and behold, crows were giving this Honey Buzzard a hard time and it quickly departed and eventually landed on this lamppost on the opposite side of the street. I shot the images from inside my garden wall.
