Buteo buteo

Buteo buteo

Unused card from “Birdpex” in 2009.  The caption is in Korean and the scientific name Buteo buteo (Common buzzard), while submitting the Korean on the front (저광이) just yields “The low light,” so that’s no help.  There is pre-printed postage with a bird, but not a buzzard.  It’s Coturnicops exquisitus, which is Swinhoe’s rail.  This is far more than you wanted to know, we know.  Grade: 1

Name: Buteo buteo
