The one 8,474 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Birds of prey have doubled or even trebled here there's buzzards sitting looking on most motorways here and when you put snares out they help themselves to any dead rabbits in the wires Quote Link to post
adeyhawk1970 0 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Last year while out shooting with a mate in mid wales we counted 32 buzzards eating worms on a field.The colours of the buzzards ranged from nearly white to a dark chocolate colour.My mate also sees goshawks which take his decoy pigeons while shooting Quote Link to post
Guest hyperion Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 plenty of buzards around my part of dorset! often see them perched on the fence posts at the top of the field behind my house or being mobbed by crows and magpirates! great to see but what impact is the rise in there numbers having on other wildlife? also have a sparrow hawk that comes swooping through the garden once or twice a week though ive not seen any evidence of it taking any thing yet!, and even had a pair of what im sure were hobbies chasing the swallows and swifts above the field this year! did any one read in the artical in shooting times this week about eagles being taken from low population areas in scotland to restock ireland by scottish natural heritage, whilst s.n.h are still blaming gamekeepers for the low population in the same areas that they are taking the birds from!!!?
