Dive-Bombing Buzzard Randomly Attacks Jogger
- Tomas Ryan, a 35-year-old dad from Shawbury, was attacked by a buzzard while jogging near Poynton Road woodland around noon on Saturday, June 6.
- The attack happened after Tomas stopped to stretch by a gate, when the aggressive bird swooped down and struck him four times with razor-sharp talons.
- Tomas was left bloodied with cuts to his head and ear, forced to run up to a kilometer before the bird finally gave up, and others in the area have reported similar attacks.
- Tomas required first aid treatment and a tetanus injection at the hospital, mentioning that cases of buzzard-related injuries are extremely rare in the UK.
- This rare incident suggests the buzzard was protecting a hidden nest, prompting Tomas to warn locals and visitors to stay alert and avoid the woodland.
