Summary

Description
English: Oriental honey buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus) (f) perched on a tree, Mudumalai National Park, Tamilnadu, India. Yellow iris indicates a female. The crested honey buzzard is a specialist feeder. Unlike other raptors, it mainly eats the grubs of bees and wasps, with bits of comb and honey. It takes other small insects such as cicadas. Occasionally, it eats small birds, reptiles and frogs like other raptors. While perched, it observes the flight lines of bees and wasps to locate their honeycombs.
Español: Halcón abejero oriental (Pernis ptilorhynchus), hembra, posado en un árbol en el parque nacional Mudumalai, India. A diferencia de otras rapaces, el halcón abejero oriental se alimenta principalmente de larvas y panales de abejas y avispas. Mientras está posado, sigue las líneas de vuelo de las abejas para localizar sus nidos. También se alimenta de otros insectos pequeños, como cigarras. Ocasionalmente captura pájaros pequeños, reptiles y ranas.
Italiano: Femmina di pecchiaiolo orientale (Pernis ptilorhynchus) nel Parco nazionale di Mudumalai, India.
Українська: Самка осоїда чубатого (Pernis ptilorhynchus) сидить на дереві в національному парку «Мудумалаї», Індія. На відміну від інших хижаків, чубатий осоїд харчується в основному личинками і стільниками медоносних бджіл та ос. Сидячи на висоті, він слідкує за лініями польотів бджіл, щоб знайти їхні гнізда.
