A Scots runner was left covered in blood after an angry buzzard sank its talons into his head. Ewan Cameron was out for a jog in Friockheim, Angus, on Sunday when he suddenly felt a ‘punch-like blow’ from behind.
The 46-year-old was left ducking and diving for cover as the nesting bird-of-prey continued swooping down on him. Ewan, who recently completed marathons in London and Tokyo, told how he’s had previous run-ins with the same bird before but thought it had left the area.
He said: “It’s not the first time it's happened and it’s not the first time that that particular bird has gotten its talons into me. But I hadn’t actually seen it for the past six months and I run that route three or four times a week.
