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.
'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

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.
