The most powerfully taloned bird in Turkey; never handle an injured one, rescue is a job for trained teams. Nests on cliff ledges and pairs may abandon young if disturbed.
Ask an adult
Nape and hindcrown covered in golden-honey lanceolate feathers standing out from the dark body
Soars with wings in a shallow dihedral V; buzzards hold theirs flatter
Long broad wings and a long tail; the head projects little while the tail looks more than twice the head projection
Juvenile shows bright white windows in mid-wing and a white tail base with a broad black terminal band
Legs feathered right down to the toes, unlike the bare tarsi of vultures and buzzards
