Talk:European honey buzzard

Distribution, breeding, sea crossings
I just read this https://www.birdguides.com/news/intrepid-honey-buzzard-completes-spectacular-journey-to-africa/. Not saying it's a reliable source, but I then looked up the Wiki article and noticed contradictions. The Birdguides article suggests this individual flew from its "natal" woodland in Scotland, across the sea to Denmark, and later across the Med by a long route. The Wikipedia article does not mark Scotland on the map of the honey buzzard's distribution, either for passing or breeding. And it suggests the bird avoids making long sea crossings. Not this youngster, apparently.

Range map
The range map seems to be quite off, for example there are a few hundred breeding pairs located in the Netherlands — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wehushi sushi (talk • contribs) 23:52, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
