Drama in the garden . . .

The garden was unnaturally quiet - no bird song - nothing. It was eerie.  Suddenly saw movement on the grass (can't call it a lawn.)  This is what I saw. . . .a sparrowhawk enjoying a leisurely meal!





Sat on the trellis for a good hour afterwards - grooming itself - spitting out bits of fluff . . .

What an amazing photo opportunity.

I saw one on my garden fence about half an hour ago before it flew off, what a thrill - he was eyeing up the bird feeders!
