Re: buzzard/honey buzzard ID help please

Juvenile Common Buzzard - as shown by the finely barred tail with no dark terminal band.

Honey-buzzard has a broad dark terminal band, and two dark bands about halfway along the tail, in all plumages and ages (and adult Common Buzzard has a broad terminal band).

Roy.
