Birds Sparrowhawks Through the Window

[Tim Mayo]

Well it looks like my new bird feeders appear to be working rather too well now, as we spotted two sparrowhawks in the garden this morning! The little birds had unsurprisingly all vanished. Unfortunately both shot through the closed window again! Looks like a male and female. Hopefully they leave the goldfinch alone that has only just arrived. Plenty of starlings and pigeons for them to feast on

Unless you are on their menu for the day!

Well yes. Actually haven't seen ours in the garden recently. We have seen the hideous plastic one a neighbour has out up to try and scare birds. It doesn't work
