The Medium-Sized Raptors, The Buzzards and Harriers Of South Africa
Buzzards and Harriers... Efficient Birds Of Prey
South Africa plays host to numerous Buzzard and Harrier raptor species which thrive in the conditions these birds of prey are provided with. Personally my 2 favourite birds of prey fall into this category: The Jackal Buzzard and the Black Harrier, but all of these hunting birds are fascinating and always are a tremendous sighting, if you get a chance to view these agile birds! Below is a list of the Buzzard and Harrier species that occur within the South African boundary.
