The bird they're fighting over got thumped the worst!

Don't mess with goshawk.

Goshaws are stealth hunters. They take their time to observe their prey and strike at the best unexpected moment. The buzzard was very likely attacked from behind, so there was no long fight.

Excellent video,i love Goshawks,the terminator of the bird world, thanks for sharing...

A Buzzard vs Goshawk is a very even match. The Buzzard is a tougher bird but the Goshawk is quicker.

A beat up juvenile buzzard. Broken feathers etc.

Great vid Ronnie 😮

Buzzard was surelly desperate to get bite of that kill. Wild birds dont usually go so fat that there is claw to claw ineraction. It surely had really bad feather condition, but we can only guess how long "therm" that was

Buteo Buteo is the common Buzzard. The original settlers to N. America were clearly not very good at recognising birds and misnamed a vulture as a Buzzard!

Theres a video on you tube where someone is hunting rabbits with a goshawk, but it actually gets a buzzard, think its called the hunter becomes the hunted.

Hi. All I can tell you is that after viewing the contents of the memory card I thought perhaps the Goshawk killed the buzzard, so I went back a few days later and could not find a buzzard carcase. When I got back to view the most recent memory card the same buzzard had been back stealing bait the following afternoon.

After I looked at the card that was in the trail camera and saw what had happened I returned to the site the next day to see if the buzzard had been killed and taken down the hillside a bit. I found no sign of it except a few feathers. I changed the card again and when I looked at the contents I was quite amazed to find that the buzzard with the ragged tail was back again less than 24 hours later feeding on the bait again.

What happened to that Buzzard's tail, usually wild raptors don't have feather problems? These videos aren't staged, are they?

@@ronniegraham6334 Okay, by your reaction I'm assuming it's it wasn't staged. The reason I asked, was because there's so many videos, especially from third world countries, that use captive raptors portraying wild birds. You probably saw some of those videos. As I mentioned, your video shows a wild Buzzard that had a completely destroyed tail, usually caused by being in a wire cage. I was just curious about that.

The pale eye, lighter brown overall, pale fringes to the feathers and lack of an black band running along the wing edge and tail end indicates juvenile plumage common buzzard.

Hi Jim, the bird that comes in with the worn tail is a common buzzard (Buteo Buteo) The bird that is initially on the bait that jumps off and thumps the buzzard is a male goshawk.

What country are you from? That was no buzzard...at least not a turkey buzzard as we know it in America.

OK . So some dummy explorer came over to USA and started naming birds that he didn't know anything about. So you've ended up with hawks that are buzzards. Don't blame me. Let's go Latin, it's hardly a new language. Buteo Buteo = buzzard Accipiter Gentilis = Goshawk These are the birds in the video.

I am not an authority, but that is no buzzard. I believe it is another kind of hawk.
