Abstract

The Long-legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus), particularly the North African breeding subspecies B. r. cirtensis, has long been suspected to breed across Libya, though precise breeding localities remained undocumented or poorly verified. This article provides the first confirmed breeding records from two distinct locations in Libya: the western region near Bani Waleed and the eastern region in Wadi Annagha in Derna and Tokhara suburb of the city of Labraq.
