In the British Islands are two species, one resident (the _B. vulgaris_ already mentioned), and now almost confined to a few wooded districts; the other the rough-legged buzzard (_Archibuteo lagopus_), an irregular winter-visitant, sometimes arriving in large bands from the north of Europe, and readily distinguishable from the former by being feathered down to the toes.
