A Snape resident was out jogging a few days ago, on the Orford road just before the turn-off to Iken, when a large bird (probably a buzzard judging by the wingspan) mobbed him four times. Naturally he scarpered at speed! He had heard someone on a bike was also attacked. He is concerned that a cyclist or child might be distracted and fall in front of vehicles or be injured — or indeed that a dog may be alarmed and slip its leash.
[The RSPB website suggests that the birds are wary of people
who might be accidentally approaching their nests and chicks.]
