The Socotra buzzard (Buteo socotraensis) is a medium to large bird of prey that is sometimes considered a subspecies of the widespread common buzzard (Buteo buteo). As its name implies, it is native to the island of Socotra, Yemen.[2] Although it is listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List, its population is considered to be stable.[1]
