    The recent sparrowhawk from a different angle of view. Today was dull and grey, almost like in November. Thank god its March and we will soon have green trees with warmer weather. The broken stem is a result of heavy snowfall.

    Female Sparrowhawk with Starling. Nature at it's most brutal. She visits our garden from time to time. This day she stayed for nearly 4 hours after killing this Starling, eventually flying off with just the carcass.
