I love it!
Is that your Sparrow Hawk? I have a juv Cooper's Hawk that had waited on the dead tree next to the feeders for a couple days. Your's seems a little more anxious for the fast food lines to start up!

I looked out late this afternoon, when my feeders would normally be alive with birds and nothing! Then I looked up into the tree above the bird table and saw why! Same thing, only I didn't get a picture of her, she was just about to take off, and flew away, empty-beaked (I'm glad to say, I know they gotta eat, but not my birdies please!) The little ones were back out of the holly and trees within a couple of minutes.

Dear all,

A sequel to the forlorn Sparrowhawk.

It has cheered up enormously since the last picture.

To day it enjoyed a few laps of the drawing room on the inside before settling and allowing me to capture it.

Our well regulated home is now back to normal apart from the cat who is receiving counselling.

The photograph is courtesy of Mrs G B-S.

Regards.
G B-S.

Dear all,

Another try.
This is the photograph that should have been attached to the previous letter.

Regards.

Excellent. Thanks for the link from the gallery to here!

I'm pleased to hear your cat is receiving counselling for his/her traumatic time. I'm equally pleased to hear of the sparrowhawk surviving. It took a liking to your drawing room then...?
