Sparrowhawk at lunch

We don't get many Starlings in the garden...now we know why. I'm assuming its a he but I could be wrong - usually am. I had to crouch down by the conservatory window and take these with the video camera. I've got about 30 seconds of video too, I might put on you tube...if I can figure out how. The gruesome bit was when the starling woke up and tried to fight back - the sparrowhawk just kept eating it...yumm

Some very good behavioural shots there. Why not upload your video to Birdforum TV as well?

Hi Kits - I didn't know I could upload videos. I tried youtube and it came out all wrong so I think its a software thing. The camera records panasonic MOV but I think youtube has a different codec...I dunno. I'll try and pop the video on the site.

Sorry, cugsy, just seen this. Maybe contact one of the Mods or Admin team?
