Identifying Golden Eagles, White-Tailed Eagles & Buzzards: A Complete Guide

The British Isles are home to two distinct species of eagles: the White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) and the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos). This guide will help you identify these majestic birds, but first, it's important to consider the Buzzard (Buteo buteo), a bird that is often misidentified as an eagle. The Buzzard, particularly the Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo), is seen in various habitats across the British Isles and has been colloquially referred to as a "tourist eagle" in Scotland due to it being so frequently misidentified by visitors to the country. To properly identify whether you're observing a Buzzard or an Eagle, consider the following distinctions.
