A tourist suffered slash wounds to his head when he was attacked by a buzzard while jogging in Cornwall.

Stuart Urquhart, who is from Westbury Park in Bristol, was holidaying in Helford with his family when he was attacked by the bird last week.

The 36-year-old had gone for a morning run when the bird swooped from behind and attacked him with its talons.


Hitchcock's film the "Birds" came to mind straight away whilst reading this BBC article.
