European honey buzzard



A European honey buzzard Pernis apivorus photograhed on the northern shore of the Gulf of Corinth, Greece, between Galaxidi and Agii Pantes.

As the name suggests, this species feeds on the larvae and nests of wasps and hornets, although its diet may also include small mammals, reptiles and birds.
