Buzzards eating poults

[Bobba_fett 117]

they will eat them in and around the pen. goshawks will carry them away, but you will see a cloud of feathers where they make the kill.

Just get rid of the poult's then the buzzard's will have nothing to eat..

Believe it or not i know a keeper that leaves waste meat on the platform and the resident buzzards never bother with poults and keep all other birds of prey away. Another shoot 'discourages' them and is in a constant battle because shoots as we all know are cra king places to live and with no competition they are even more attractive.

Theres far too many of them , they queue up to get a perch near the motorway here so if somethings run over they can get it, A poor season for the rabbits and a hard winter will thin them out
