Chelmsford

Runners out jogging have been repeatedly attacked by a Buzzard, which is actually a bird of prey, in a village called Hellions Bumpstead which boasts a village pond and is in medieval Suffolk. These are repeat attacks and reminds us of the dangers of rewilding. A buzzard is a crafty bird of prey with a large 3ft wingspan and the term has sometimes been used to describe older women with very strong personalities. Should buzzard hunting be brought back,? For the bird and not the women of course. What's going on here guys? It's all over the news.

At least it didn't happen in Leighton Buzzard.

Although they'd have had a field day with the headlines.

definitely not, they are amazing birds, I once rescued (from a bad handler) and trained it for around a year. before I decided I couldnt keep it any longer as the avery wasn't really big enough for a bird of it's size.

Could they steal a child? I wonder if Children's Minster, David Johnston would know?

True story, I got chased by a buzzard when cycling across Dartmoor, kept swooping at my heed.

After about 40 mins I had to take shelter in one of those brick bus shelters for about half hour till the bugger left.

Could it have been protecting a nest? Any creature will change its behaviour to protect its young… I think we should send Matt Hancock to investigate … worst case scenario is that he gets his face torn off… actually worst case scenario is that he doesn’t get his face torn off…

Yeah and I bet the creature is a European Honey Buzzard, probably came over here illegally (imagine it even avoided the small boats route). Mr Farage would probably have a picture of 1,000s of Turkey Vultures (a type of buzzard honest) in a line trying to invade our country

We've caused both, potentially, should we reintroduce animals. But the levels of damage and harm to other species vastly outweighs those made to us.

Birds of prey are amazing, that said I personally don't agree with any wild bird species being kept in captivity unless for it's health until release.

We used to watch the Marsh Harriers doing their Aerial acrobatic courting when we lived in Norfolk/Suffolk, they could be seen soaring up and dropping something and the other one sweeping in and catching and repeating. Seen them also "play" with other birds!

Whats the problem? We've had ospreys and buzzards here for years. Never caused any harm or issues???

Although I would imagine breeders of free range albino hamsters might be a tad concerned for their easy to spot livestock ??
