The little garden birds are very secretive in their visit for food and do not stay around very much But my friend and neighbour informs me that the Sparrow hawk is around -- She had seen him sitting on her fence watching the birds at her food station --. and later that day she found a mound of pigeon feathers under the bird table !!
I hope Mr P will not be too adventurous or perhaps I should say foolhardy ! He was brazenly sitting on the roof top ! and I hope the Sparrow hawk will not spot hm for his next meal !!
It amazes me that it would go for a bird as big as a pigeon but I have to confess they do seem a bit dopey and slow to react! Maybe that's why our kids named the two in our garden after myself and my husband!!! This one looks as though he's smiling!
@paulaw Ooh I know Paula -- Mr P is rather dopey !! plodding through the flowerbeds in the hope that food comes to him -and it usually does as the smaller birds drop the seeds ,he is underneath clearing them up !!
