Could be that the buzzards here just havent figured out how to do it yet. Seen them eat already dead ones and carry them off even but not live ones. Yet.I have seen the odd buzzard take a lamb but it could have been born dead? The great black backed gulls will hold a TexX ewe down and eat her there and then! And they’ll pick up any slow lambs. The beauty with the gulls is you can usually hear them calling from a mile away if they are onto something. The gulls and ravens will usually go for the same ewe so the ewe doesn’t stand a chance. Towards the end of lambing their all worse (April) as they are teaching their young to hunt aswell!
Im glad we dont have any of those gulls but at least i think you can legally shoot the black back ones?
It definetly gets worse as time goes on. They all learn off each other and get bolder and braver every day. And bring more friends with them every day
