Harrassed Buzzard

It is not unusual to see a buzzard beng persued by crows. In most instances, a shift of the tail and the buzzard easily leaves the crows behind. The other day I observed two crows chasing a buzzard which then released a small mammal from its talons. In an instant, one of the crows swooped down and caught the prey in its beak well before it hit the ground.

I was left pondering why the bizzard should have so easily given in to the piratical crows.
