just seen a brown bird, with its legs trailing, being escorted away by 2 crows (all similar size). What might it have been ?

lunch

[Chaffinch]

Escorted? or were the crows chasing it, if so it was probably a young buzzard, if not then as Boo says it was probably lunch!

I have seen a heron being mobbed by two crows.Not a brown bird though. A bird of prey - falcon?

[sfsorrow]

Crows do not eat adult birds, they only take young unfledged birds, it sounds like a thrush, maybe a fieldfare or redwing, being chased away from a food source, but without pics its impossible to say.

[jaydah]

it was the trailing legs that puzzled me; quite a big bird ?

[jomifl]

Don't all birds fly with trailing legs? except when they are landing of course
