The Red-necked Buzzard is an African raptor often found in open woodlands and savannas. It is a medium-sized buzzard known for its rusty wash on the nape and shoulders.
Where to spot
Western and Central Africa, from Senegal to Angola and east to Sudan and Uganda. Found in savannas, grasslands with scattered trees, and farmland.
How to spot
Look for its pale underparts, dark brown upperparts, and the diagnostic reddish-brown wash on the nape and upper mantle, which gives it its common name. Its call is a loud, mewing 'kee-yaah'.
When to spot
Year-round resident, active during daylight hours.
