The Sparrowhawk has taken a liking to my garden and visited twice today. Steven my seagull gave a loud screech this afternoon and I thought the Sparrowhawk had got him. However when I looked out the window the hawk was walking under the bushes looking for Sparrows. I think Steven is too big for him and he is pretty
strong with a vicious beak, so I don't think the hawk will tackle him. The Hawk has the advantage of a neighbours trees, can sit almost undetected and swoop down at will. According to my bird book, the hawk appears to be a young male.

I love sparrowhawk they are my favourite bird of prey.
ReplyDeleteYeah they are lovely looking birds. Unfortunately this one has driven away all the small birds that normally feed in my garden, haven't seen any for a week now !
