Runner left covered in blood after buzzard sinks talons into his head

An experienced marathon runner was left injured after a buzzard swooped into his head and sank its talons into his skin. Ewan Cameron was out jogging at the weekend when it happened.

Out on Sunday, Ewan said he was running when he felt a "punch" to his head from behind. Ewan, 46, was left trying to duck for cover as the bird of prey continued its attack.

Ewan, who has recently done the marathons in London and Tokyo, said he'd had confrontations with the same bird on previous occasions, but he thought it had left the area. Ewan was out for a run in Friockheim in Angus, Scotland, when it happened, reports the Daily Record.
