We didn't shoot at it, before anyone starts. Just fired a shot off in the other direction.

Heard of and almost seen it happen before. Just goes to show, if you can fool one of those buggers, you can full a pigeon no problem to come in.

just goes to show that he was a polite chap and had a good up bringing ,i think a few of us would have used alternave phrases, like please go away with short jerky movements or words to that effect

 

 

His pattern and deeks obviously were set correctly

You sure it wasn't a sparrowhawk?

Had sparrow hawks do it but not buzzards

I had something like it 2 years ago. I was sat in my hide and a rabbit popped out 20 yards away, I shot it and recovered it and placed it at the side of my hide. A few minutes later a buzzard swooped down as if to take a decoy, saw the rabbit and dropped straight on it. I was fumbling for the camera but it happened so quick, needless to say I scared the buzzard off cheeky sod, trying to pinch my rabbit. I can't believe just how many buzzards are around here now, I have them in my garden sometimes they really wind up my terriers and sure they do it on purpose.
