Why do Buzzards have such a cowardly reputation when they can be a bit like this?

Great footage, it's not as if there wasn't enough food to feed them all! The young gos didn't seem too concerned though.

I know plenty for all present and more........the Raven was giving the Goshawk quite a lot of space - they tend to tease Eagles.

carrion feeders just seem to be very scrappy, its shocking how easy that buzzard was able to do that though.

Hi Scuba - long time no see! That Buzzard was up for a fight. I get the feeling on the ground Ravens fear Buzzards.

Great footage, great reference for showing just how big the Goshawk is.
