Hunter and the hunted (1 Viewer)

[GeorgeMac]

Out on my morning walk I spotted a pheasant on a roof and it was looking very alarmed. I've never seen a pheasant on a roof before. Something must have chased it up there and I suspected a cat. Wandered over to get a photo and look who I spotted in the back garden keeping an eye on the pheasant! I think it's a sparrowhawk.

Goodness, how interesting, George. Great shots of the sparrowhawk and pheasant, too.

I think Pheasant is too big bite - even for female Sprawk.

I was thinking the same thing about the Pheasant being too large but who knows?

I spotted a pile of pheasant feathers outside my house this morning. Just feathers though, so it obviously got away from whatever attacked it.

Or whatever got it, took the evidence away! Fox more likely than Sparrowhawk . . . :t:

Interesting, yes, perhaps there is a fox prowling around here.

We regularly have both Pheasant and Sparrowhawk in the garden. The pheasants totally ignore the Sprawk.
