Pernis apivorus

The European Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus) is a migratory bird of prey found across Europe, including Croatia.

This fascinating raptor species has a unique dietary preference for bee and wasp larvae, which it extracts from their nests with its specialized hooked bill. With its slender body and long wings, it's an agile flier, often soaring high in the sky during migration. The Honey Buzzard plays a vital role in controlling insect populations, making it an essential component of healthy ecosystems.

Let's ensure the conservation of its habitats to protect this remarkable species for future generations.
