3 Fly bye's, and she was back, just sitting on the fence, while all around was in total silence. Then you could just hear blackie with that low chuck-chuck alarm,
the head of the hawk turned in the direction of the call as if it was on radar! then she was gone. Finished feeding the tribe came back into the kitchen, and low and behold she had a greenfinch on the lawn, that was all within seconds, so thats one fast sparrowhawk!! it's sad, and i know they have to eat, but saying that i still get a buzz from watching her. The rest of the day went peacebly for the other birds.

Usually when we have had a sparrowhawk visit - or even a fly-over, it takes 15-20 minutes before the birds come out of hidng. In fact if something whizzes by, but I don't get a good look at it, I'm fairly confident it must have been a spawk.
