Minding me own business today, watching the footy, thinking about cooking dinner, when there was quite a loud bang on the window, turned out a Sparrowhawk had chased a Starling into it, which obviously didn't end well for the Starling😢 I think the Starling must have died on impact as it didn't struggle at all. Sad for the Starling but a Sprawk gotta eat! On the plus side it gave me cracking views of a stunning male Sparrowhawk which spent an hour near our pond eating it's meal. I managed to, very, very, very, very slowly open the door and took a few shots! This is only the second time this year we have seen the Sprawk. A few pics below some of which are pretty gory, so if you are squeamish or just had your Tea probably give it a miss!!!
Nature red in tooth and claw!!!!!
