The gulls round here seem to be getting a bit brave, lol. Although the Buzzard looks unimpressed.
Not a great photo, but I found the content interesting.

Gulls around here are always doing this to our local Buzzard family, stroppy birds they are! This shows the action well Gary

It went on for a little while tbh. There were a pair of buzzards and 3 gulls IIRC, although I fired off quite a few shots this was the only one that I managed to get the gull and buzzard in the same frame, things were moving sooo quickly, lol.
Thanks for the kind words folks.

Gary.

The only buzzards I've caught on camera are specks in the distance, so regardless of how many shots you took, you've done really well to capture this! I love it that the Buzzard is rolling right over to present his talons! Good shot, well executed!

All the best, Mike.

This is not easy to capture - I've tried. It's a good result I reckon.

We have the same here in Hereford. Lone juvenile buzzard being harrassed by gulls but when the parent pair of buzzards appear the gulls can't be seen.
Good attempt.

Seen groups of birds in the distance mobbing others.. Have to say I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a gulls beak.
