Sunday 31st October: A Sparrowhawk alighted in Sandra's garden and she emailed me a couple of photos that she snapped of the bird prior to it taking a Goldfinch! Quite possibly this predator has moved into the area to supplement it's food intake during the autumn\winter. Gardens that attract numerous song birds through residents putting out seed etc, will provide an easy and abundant food source for falcons and other predators. It's just "one of those things", nature's "dark side". On a lighter note, Sandra also sent me a photo of a fledgling Robin taken earlier in the year... lovely photo Sandra! And would you believe it... a Nuthatch on one of her feeders too!
