Sparrow hawk. by beryl

Sparrow hawk.

We heard a kafuffle on the roof top and wondered what had disturbed the woodpigeons , and looking out through the kitchen window we saw this Sparrow hawk feasting on a recently caught little bird ( I assume a sparrow). Not a very clear shot as it had been raining and the window was still streaked with rain! So this was the best I could do to record the event !
Mother Nature is cruel sometimes; we've not seen out Sparrowhawk for some months now; a shame as he made a great subject when he visited

I have a similar picture only not quite so clear. It is after all just nature happening.

Poor little bird but of course that's nature and everyone has to eat. Great photo though

Oh dear, sad, but survival of the fittest. We all have to eat I suppose

Ya- we have one of these hawk flying around as well - so far all our little birds have escaped it :)

well caught - predators are pretty amazing

I think you caught it quite well. We used to have a regular sparrow hawk, but haven’t seen it for ages.
