Mostly carrion, but anything they can get their beaks on. An acquaintance who encourages barn owls on his land says that he has lost several to buzzards. I have seen one struggling to get airborne with a rabbit, but whether it killed the rabbit or no I don't know.

Big and slow I would have thought Bob.

Aren't buzzards insectivores?

Yes, there are lots of buzzards hereabouts, and they are forever being dive-bombed by crows and gulls. Crows will also drive off herons, and anything else they perceive as a threat. Luckily the coal tits are too small and quick to be on the buzzard's menu.

Dive bombed by crows? Why would they dive-bomb him?

The buzzards here get die-bombed by crows - do you get that, bob?

You feel like you should be singing a chorus of Oklahoma.

Three buzzards circling overhead, a pair of coal tits in the garden, never seen them before, and I have crushed and pressed 300lbs of apples to make cider. And the sun has been shining all day.
