P. brachypterus, Blyth (monente auctore). 



The Indian 'Honey buzzard,' like its European congener, feeds by preference on 

 honey-comb, or the larvaj of bees and wasps, and in default of them will eat other 

 insects or reptiles, eggs and young birds. Jerdon was an eye-witness to this bird's 

 attacking a comb, wliich it did without any particular ceremony or precaution, though 

 it is difficult to understand how it escapes being severely stung on such occasions.
