nothernlite 18,076 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Used to be some great fields up by my local river 20 years ago you could walk these fields and always kick up a few Hares, last year, and about a fortnight a go i went to the same fields and they are bare, have never seen a Hare, heard they were getting lamped 12 months of the year, and there is a lot of Buzzards about, don't know much about them, but i suppose they will take Leverets. They look big and mean enough Joe, but they mostly feed on insects,small rodents,dead carcasses, they dont have the strength in the talons of say a Goshawk, more of an oppotunist/scavenger, thats why they do so well,tons of em about like you said. Mate reckons he's seen one giving a lambing ewe a hell of a time tho..peckin at the arse end. Do they not call em 'tourist eagles' up your way! buzzards can and do take hares last season we disturbed a buzzard off an adult hare while on a walk the hare was still alive but had the eyes pecked out 4 lads witnessed this . was it the magic mushroom season Quote Link to post
