Rake aboot 4,936 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just watched it Not surprised in the sightest. This will lead to crys to control them but nothing will happen The facility to control Buzzards has been in place for years, but NO licenses have been issued by the Scottish gov`t. All this bullshit about them being carrion only is just that,,,bullshit. I was stalking in Lauder one morning and saw more buzzards than crows, another stalking trip in Biggar and I saw 14 sitting in one field. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jasper65 6 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I get big problems with them most days lately. they come over the top of my aviaries pretty low swing round and come back over for another look, the Peregrines litteraly hit the roof hanging off the mesh trying to engage them to protect their young. the problem is I end up with young birds jumping out of the nest in panic when the mother is throwing a wobbly. I have no idea what the Buzzards are after? could be the day old cockerals or quail in the aviary or other food, then again they could also be quartering the aviaries to take some of my youngtsers off the ledge .... seen more Buzzrds this year than ever, they're all over the place......
