All was quiet on the Billy Neill Playing Fields… until it wasn’t!
A #sparrowhawk flushed from the trees by an irate #HoodedCrow and was chased across the pitches.
Needless to say, that was the end of #birdwatching for the morning 🤷♂️
We've got a new visitor around the house. At first I thought it's a hawk, but I guess it's a sparrowhawk. And those are hunting small birds instead of mice. 😩
Watched this beautiful Sparrowhawk drinking and then bathing in our birdbaths. It seemed so content, just sitting there basking in the warm weather and splashing away contentedly. It was wonderful to see.
Sitting in the snackbar - This beautiful Sparrowhawk was sitting in our garden at about 50cm (20 inch) from the bird feeding station as if he was in a snackbar. The feeding tray was of course totally abandoned by all the little birds
