Had a similar experience while out crow shooting with a fellow memeber of this forum. We set out our crow

decoys one frosty morning last December and while getting back into the hide ready for the black stuff to come in

i seen a Buzzard swoop down low and take a decoy up in its talons. It carried it a few meters an then dropped

it back down, must have clicked it wasn't the breakfast he had hoped for lol. And we have a resident Sparrow Hawk

which can be seen once in a while taking small song birds from around our back gardens. Been unluck enough to catch

him on Video, but as soon as i do, i will post it on this forum.
