Mourne Mountains: Man warns walkers of swooping buzzards

Mr Morgan runs for Barf, the Belfast Association of Rock-climbers and Fell Runners.

“I wanted to do a nine-mile run and I know there was an eight mile loop around near Donnard Forrest, so I decided to do that because it’s a bit more sheltered when the weather isn’t great,” he said.

“About six miles into my run, just after I took a phone call, I got the first swoop and I could really feel the claws on my head.

“You really do hear it when they swoop and one of them hit me three times, I ended up looking up and shouting ‘Enough!’. After I could feel the blood dripping down and around my eyes.”

Mr Morgan said despite being not seriously injured in the incident, he was left quite shaken and took a different route back to avoid encountering the birds again.

Mr Morgan said it is important that walkers, runners and hikers in the area are aware that these birds are there and may feel threatened by their presence.
