Unusual indeed to see a Buzzard take a Grey Phalarope as only about 200 Grey Phalaropes visit Britain each year, but a buzzard taking a bird of that size is not unexpected.
The Mirror (surprise surprise) is incorrect in saying that Buzzards rarely atack other birds. Crows and Wood Pigeons are a regular part of their diets.

Great pics alright I'm surprised the photographer was able to get all the pictures at once!
