I heard the crows making a fuss yesterday, and looked up to see two of them harassing a buzzard.

Too high to get any very good photos, but they did go around and around in circles for a while- it was interesting how daring the crows were being as is shown in the third photo... even pulling on the bop's tailfeathers!

Generally the raptors seem to take it in their stride.

Very little gets passed crows and they will take on anything that could be a threat. Dave
