I find they are not too bothered when you are cycling. I often get buzzards just sitting on fence posts just calmly watching me go past only a few feet away.
It's great riding past a buzzard when its up on a post and just watches you go past. You see its head turn and follow you.
There has been one that has been bombing cyclists a couple of moths ago. Last year in the same place it bombed me and scraped the top of my helmet with its talons. This year in the same place I was closely bombed in a flyby.
It must be a mother with a nest near by and protecting her chicks.
Always June/July time.
Fair play to her protecting her chicks.
