The European Honey-buzzard (Pernis apivorus) was first accurately described and clearly distinguished from the Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) by Francis Willughby and John Ray in their Ornithology, originally published in Latin in 1676. Alfred Newton's statement that Pierre Belon had described the species over a century earlier is not entirely correct, as Belon confused this honey-buzzard's features with those of the common buzzard and even appeared uncertain whether it was a separate species. One of Willughby's important contributions to ornithology was the identification and use of “characteristic marks” to distinguish and identify species, including those that distinguish the European Honey-buzzard from the Common Buzzard. Because Willughby provided the first accurate description of Pernis apivorus  – and because his contribution to ornithology has never been formally recognized –  we propose that the common name of the European Honey-buzzard be changed to Willughby's Buzzard.

Observations regarding the flight biology and behaviour of the Common buzzard (Buteo Buteo) in the Râul Doamnei hydrographical basin (Romania) In this paper, the authors analyse the flight biology and behaviour of the Common buzzard (Buteo buteo) observed in the Râul Doamnei hydrographical basin, depending on the environmental conditions and ecological seasons. Along three years, during the 3031 observations, 4549 individuals were observed.

Összefoglalás A kisemlősök denzitás változásainak az egerészölyv reprodukciójára gyakorolt hatását (un. numerikus választ) vizsgáltam a Hortobágyon, 2000-2001-ben. A fészekellenőrzések során regisztráltam a lerakott tojások, valamint a kikelt és a kirepült fiókák számát. Az egyik legfontosabb zsákmánycsoport, a kisemlősök állomány változásait élvefogó csapdázással monitoroztam. Vizsgáltam az időjárásnak az áttelelő kisemlősök túlélésére gyakorolt hatását is. Az ölyvek átlagos fészekalja a két évben szignifikánsan különbözött: 2000-ben 2,3, míg 2001-ben 3,1 tojás volt. Ez a kisemlősök - 2000-ről 2001-re bekövetkezett - jelentős mértékű állománynövekedésével magyarázható. 2000-ben nagyon alacsony volt a kisemlősök egyedszáma (9 példány/ha), míg 2001- ben ennek nyolcszorosát regisztráltam (76 példány/ha). A kisemlősök egyedszámában tapasztalt óriási eltéréseket a vizsgált két év tél végi-tavasz eleji időjárási különbségei okozhatták. 2000 február-márciusában, a napi minimum hőmérsékleteket tekintetve, 4 rövid, enyhe periódus váltakozott 4 fagypont alattival, ugyanakkor az enyhe időszakokban jelentős mennyiségű (6-8 mm) eső is hullott. Ekkor az áttelelő kisemlősök járatai ismételten beáztak, az állatok megfáztak, kihűltek, szinte kipusztultak a területről, ezért létszámuk a költési időszakban is rendkívül alacsony volt. 2001-ben a tél vége sokkal enyhébb volt, 3 héttel korábban emelkedtek fagypont fölé a napi minimum hőmérsékletek, mint 2000-ben, nem alakultak ki váltakozó hideg-meleg időszakok sem. Ez kedvezően hatott az áttelelő kisemlősökre, létszámuk gyorsan emelkedett és nyár elejére mezei pocok gradáció alakult ki.

In this paper, a description of the coracobrachialis caudalis, the scapulotriceps and the extensor carpi radialis muscles is presented in three different species (Common kestrel, Common buzzard and Grey heron) that exhibit notably differing flight styles. The primary goal of this research is to describe the gross anatomy of species not previously examined. Secondly, we attempt to advance a functional interpretation of the structures studied, to understand if such noticeable differences in flight style could have induced a differentiation in the above mentioned wing muscles. Regarding the coracobrachialis caudalis muscle, the Grey heron exhibited an unusual conformation with two “reversed” heads and a great amount of fibrous bundles. Moreover, the “anchors” of the scapulotriceps muscle were well developed in the Grey heron and vestigial in the Common kestrel, while an intermediate situation was observed in the Common buzzard. In addition, the extensor carpi radialis muscle showed interesting findings concerning the number of heads and their disposition. Our data may corroborate some previously advanced functional interpretation. In particular, the structure of the coracobrachialis muscle is in line with the hypothesis of its role as muscular strut. Moreover, the humeral and scapular anchors could play a role in increasing the scapulotriceps tension during some phases of the beat cycle or it may be involved in maintaining wing posture. Regarding the different number of heads and the disposition of the extensor carpi radialis muscle, we believe that it could play a role in maintaining the wing position. Although a correct functional interpretation can be obtained only through multidisciplinary studies, we believe that an in-depth gross anatomy study should always be conducted beforehand, to serve as basis for further and more specific research.
