Flure Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Driving up to Skye the other day I saw a sea eagle and a buzzard having a confrontation. Suddenly the eagle plummeted to the ground. I don't know what happened, but I definitely saw the buzzard's head move in the eagle's direction. From where I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I think your spell check went wrong there. I think you mean seagull. A sea eagle would never attack a buzzard nor vice versa. Jist widnae happen. Seagulls, on the other hand, quite often attack buzzards. As do crows. What you saw, was a confrontation between a seagull and a crow. They were just much closer to you than you thought. Just accept facts and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Even buzzards know that elephants don't climb trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yesterday I saw three kestrels attacking a buzzard. It was quite spectacular and very noisy. One of they guys I was with tried to tell us it was an eagle. He was havering pish. It made me think of Flure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
