[QUOTE="Ptarmi, post: 1612482, member: 60170"] I lost a [B]House Sparrow[/B] on Friday & a [B]Great Tit[/B] yesterday, in my Garden, to a [B]Sparrowhawk[/B]. I didn't mind the Sparrow so much, cause I have about 40 of the little blighters visiting my Bird Station every day, but I only have a couple of Great Tits, so I wasn't so pleased to say goodbye to him, but I'm sure he'll soon be replaced. It's all very natural though & I certainly don't grudge the Hawk his dinner. The fact is, I have a soft spot for Sparrowhawks. I had the honour of saving a nest of young Sparrowhawks, whose parents had been shot by a keeper, way back in 1970. As you can imagine, it was a real honour to see them fledge & then be able to successfully hack them back to the wild. Cheers Dick P.S. Cats are a completely different story though & if the Tories do get back in & try to repeal the Ban on Fox Hunting, they should only be allowed to do so, if the Hounds hunt [B][I]Feral Cats[/I][/B] instead of Foxes!
