We love feeding the birds in our gardens, the upshot of this, is that nature spots an opportunity for one of it's members. ie the Sparrowhawk, but Nature isn't daft, it thinks things out failry astutely. Hmm, those humans are feeding the small birds, the small birds, are thriving with this bit of molly-coddling, so I'd better pass on a bit of this bounty to my other members.The only 'danger' Sparrowhawks can ever do, is to themselves, by becoming yet another 'hawk splattered aginst patio door' casualty, which, does happen from time to time.</blockquote>
