love watching these birds ,not that many on the east coast seen 2 in my life .were i live on the edge of s/land,more inland,went up west coast of scotland last year year fishing and they were like blackbirds ,seen them takeing hares out
i stay in the west coast of scotland ur right they r like blackbirds up here but i must say ive never known them to take harea i always thought buzzards to b scavengers and take mostly road kills and what they can find think maybe the hard weather got something to do with less rabbits the only good thing about the weather it kills the mixy fles and hope
