Buzzard Hunting
One of 2 Buzzards circling the cliffs at Sallagh Braes, Co Antrim. Every time they shrieked there was a panicked response from other birds in the bracken at the base of the cliffs. I'm guessing they were some kind of game bird - grouse or partridge. I did wonder if the Buzzards cries were intended to provoke a response so that they could locate prey below. Is that possible?
