A buzzard, rarely seen in urban areas, was spotted at a Droitwich Morrisons. Wildlife experts confirmed the sighting.
At first, she thought it was a golden eagle, but experts said it’s actually a buzzard. She even got some photos and videos of it.
The bird stood on a fence near the cars. It then flew to a tree branch nearby. She said it wasn’t scared of anything. She thought it might be someone’s lost pet.
Seeing the bird was really amazing, she said. It was awesome to see in the car park. She sent pictures to Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. They confirmed it was indeed a buzzard.
Buzzards usually stay out of towns, they said. They added that seeing one is exciting. Buzzards are now common in Britain. They are the UK’s most widespread bird of prey.
Buzzards are pretty big birds. Their wings are broad and rounded. They have short necks and short tails. When they fly, buzzards hold wings in a V shape.
Their tails fan out too. They vary in color, from light to dark brown. They all have dark wingtips. Their tails have fine stripes. You might mistake its call for a cat; it sounds like it is mewing.
