While I was in the kitchen I heard such a loud thump as something hit a window in the conservatory. I nipped through and just saw a shape fly up from the ground and disappear in the nearby trees. Then I spied the Sparrowhawk, female by the size and colouring:
I'm not sure whether it was her or what she was after which bounced off the window but after a short while she flew away.
They are such handsome birds aren;t they John? One visits our bird feeding station almost daily although she doesn't always catch anything as the station is surrounded by holly bushes.
ReplyDeleteWeaver: I'm surprised how few visits we seem to have had this year, especially when the back lawn was covered in juvenile Starlings feeding.
ReplyDeletebeauty!
ReplyDeleteI welcome the sight but the other birds don't.
