Sparrowhawk

Quite a common visitor to the garden. We have watched this Sparrowhawk pluck its prey on the lawn – at least, I guess it’s the same one. The prey seems to be mainly Collar Dove of which we have an abundance.

The photo below was taken early this morning from the kitchen and through a window that probably needs cleaning!

Having studied our bird book, I have decided it is a female and I’m now trying to think of a suitable name for her.

Sparrowhawk

I am constantly surprised by the wildlife that lives in and visits this town garden – frogs, newts, kingfishers, sparrowhawks. What next? Perhaps a stoat!
