We had 3 of them out there this evening. We get buzzards too. Only started breeding here a few years ago after disappearing many years ago. They are a spectacular sight to see.

I don't know, they could easily pick up Cameo. They are massive birds, the wingspan of an adult bird is over a meter long so quite capable of lifting large prey. They eat reptiles and can take prey up to 500g. I worry about my daughters little dog, she's so tiny a buzzard could carry her off no trouble.
