[Closed] Well that was terrifying: attacked by a buzzard whilst riding through the woods

All I can think is: thank goodness I was going downhill! In the twisties deep in the woods, popped off a we stump/log, and there was an almighty WHACK on the top of helmet. At first thought a branch must have fallen (been a bit windy here), then saw an effing great buzzard flapping away from me - must have come from behind She then preceded to turn around in the canopy ahead, beady eyes fixed on me, and start back in a direct assault. I'm not ashamed to admit I may have screamed, then put my head down and pedalled as fast as I could to get clear of the woods. Didn't stop until I'd got back to the road, and finally allowed myself a look behind to make sure she was gone. Flippin nora, never in my life etc etc I assume there was young/buzzardlets about, has that happened to anyone else? I imagine it could have done a bit of damage if the opportunity arose?

Now I realise they’ve just been eyeing me up for dinner and want me to die and be eaten.

😝

I’ve been doing exactly the same thing for years, but also at the back of mind with the thought ‘I wonder what it would take for them to come for me, or the dog’
