Why it matters
The Oriental Honey-buzzard is a specialized raptor noted for its distinctively rounded tail and long, soaring wings, which facilitate its impressive migrations across Asia. It is particularly prized by observers for its unique diet, as it has evolved specialized, scale-like feathers around its eyes to protect itself while raiding the nests of social wasps and bees.
