I glanced out of the window yesterday to see a Buzzard in a vertical dive
into the mature Ash trees opposite. Beneath it was a freefalling pale
object which, once caught by the Buzzard turned out to be a Squirrel.
After only a few moments perched with its prey however, a Crow piled in to
harass the Buzzard. Buzzard attempts to take off but the (now dead!)
Squirrel has become caught in the tree branch. The Buzzard refuses to let
go its prey so ends up upside down hanging by the Squirrel! Crow watches
on for several minutes while Buzzard dangles. Finally the Buzzard lets go
and flies off a way and the Crow moves in to dine on the (still trapped)
Squirrel. The Buzzard surprisingly gives up in disgust and flies off up
