Avian Lunch

Usually when the sparrowhawk pays us a visit the only thing we see is a grey blur as it swoops down and away. Today, this handsome chap decided to eat its lunch, a great tit I think, in front of the dining room window. You can just about see the great tit in it's talons.I was absolutely thrilled to get this picture. It's a shame about the poor little great tit but the sparrowhawk has to eat and fortunately there's no shortage of great tits. You can tell this is a male because of the rusty colour on it's chest.
Such a wonderful capture Sue , How can we condemn the Sparrowhawk for finding food while we are also great carnivores and enjoy our meat! ( yet I feel sorry for the little tit!! )

Yeah, same here. Some we say we feed the birds to feed the bigger birds. It’s a beautiful bird but deadly . Nice shot!

Fabulous capture. Nature is not always kind but each species needs to find food to survive.

What a great shot, Sue! Your focus is super! (When I'm excited about getting a great shot of a bird, I often shake the camera :) I feel sorry for the little tit, but you're right: this is nature. Fav
