The Black Honey Buzzard is a rare and elusive raptor endemic to New Britain in Papua New Guinea, recognized by its dark plumage. Like its relatives, it preys on social insects, such as wasp and bee larvae.
Where to spot
Primary lowland and hill forests of New Britain, a single island in the Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for its overall dark, almost black plumage and typical honey buzzard shape (long tail, broad wings). Patience and scanning the canopy in suitable habitat are required, as it is easily overlooked.
When to spot
Year-round, but observations are infrequent due to its rarity and elusive behavior. Best chances are during quieter periods in the forest.
