Early this afternoon a Sparrowhawk descended into the garden! The first I knew of this was when the Sparrows gave that familiar rapid and repetitive short rasping call. A female, she kept looking around for prey but all the birds had dived for cover into the conifers! After about 15 minutes she flew off without making a kill. As far as we know, she didn't make a return visit.
