Perninae
The
raptor subfamily
Perninae includes a number of medium-sized broad-winged
species. These are birds of warmer climates, although the
Pernis species (
European Honey Buzzard and
Oriental Honey Buzzard) have a more extensive range.
Several of the species in this group eat mainly insects, and the honey-buzzards are specialist feeders on wasp larvae. Reptiles are also taken by several birds in this group.
