I was watching a buzzard circling above a rookery this morning. As usual a team rose to annoy it and I watched it side slip, dive and take a rook (could have been a jackdaw since they're around as well) out of the sky and fly off with it presumably for breakfast.
I do not mean to doubt you, but surely they dine solely on lambs and bairns?
Or is that just Kites and Eagles?
Good spot PA.
Coincidentally I was watching a buzzard get hounded by a couple of crows the other day with my son and we had a conversation about what looked to be a very dangerous game for a crow to play. Seems some do sometimes come a cropper PA. Thanks for posting, that's cleared that wee debate up nicely. :) I wonder starlings ever end up as dinner as a result of mobbing kestrels.
