Yesterday my picture was of a Hawk of the metal, mechanical kind, today is a hawk of the raptor kind. This one visits our garden quite regularly & when it does the other birds rush off elsewhere.
Love these vicious little guys. Once saw one capture a hapless pigeon right outside my kitchen window and swoop away. I can still the blood emerging from the pigeon's breast and the shock on its face as the talons took it. Amazing creatures, one of nature's fiercest and finest. Well done for catching him here
Such a great visitor and capture - they hover round from time to time , but the only time I saw one in the garden ,when he plummeted down and captured a beautiful gentle collared dove - I still remember the feathers floating down as he took wing again and carrying off his victim ! Nature can be so cruel!
great capture of this regular visitor. So long as I put the feed out for the smaller passerine birds, I’m basically putting feed out for her. I saw her take a squirrel the other week, just before I was going to shoot it.
