Well for the last few months I have watching a pair of Buzards out of my office window, saw one occasionally last year but this year the pair have been around most days.

They even reared 2 babies Laughing

Normally there are crows attacking (annoying) the buzards while they are hunting. Today I watched a crow spend ages flying at the buzard. Anyway that was about two hours, I just walked out into the car park and found the crow unable to fly.....looks like he picked on the wrong buzard Laughing

I caught the crow and will give a check over after work, hopefully he'll be ok to release again.

Well if he isn't able to fly then keep it for yourself. Crows are fantastic birds, a pain in the rear though. Mine is into everything, but its funny watching him strut around.
Plucky birds, to pick on a pair of buzzards and most of the time to get away with it.

Hi Mike,

I couldn't find any damage at all to the wing but he still won't fly. He's happy to jump about 5ft but that's it.

He spent last night eating giant mealworms out of a bowl 2 ft from me. Didn't seem freaked out at all.
