September 2010 - Sparrowhawk visit to the bird table!



Tuesday 21st: Lunchtime and all of a sudden the bird song stops. Mel calls me, "Sparrowhawk on the bird table!" I grab the camera and reel-off a few shots. The bird stayed for about 10 minutes and even flew across the garden to the perch by the feeders. As everything had taken cover and nothing was available for lunch, this female Sparrowhawk flew off without making a kill. The photos were shot through the study window so as not to scare it off if I opened it. The short movie below was shot on my camera.
