Pernis ptilorhynchus, Crested Honey Buzzard. A large raptor of lowland and montane broadleaf and mixed forests, breeding in Siberia and Japan, wintering in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is also year-round resident in these latter areas where it inhabits tropical forests from lowlands up into montane areas. It is known to congregate in large flocks of up to thousands during migration. It raids wasp and bee nests, although it prefers bee and wasp larvae over their honey.

The European honey-buzzard (Pernis apivorus) is considered a distinctive species of Kite.The honey-buzzard is a scarce passage migrant and rare summer breeder to Scotland. As summer migrant to northern Europe, honey-buzzards can occur in Scotland in a large variety of habitats from the remote islands to suburban areas in the Central belt. However, they usually occur along the east coast, particularly in Orkney and Shetland from late May to the end of September.
