We have Sparrow Hawks

[Gill]

Hey Guys

I have heard Sparow hawks @ the weekend in the trees Adjacen to the House.
They must live inside The Copse.

I am so Excited - I Haven't lived near birds of prey since i was liittle and Lived Abroad for a third of the year.

I Loved watching the Eagles and Honey Buzzards Soaring High in the sky on the Cloumns of warm Air.
I Loved watching them Hunt and swooping down and grabbing Prey from the Fields and the Sides of Villas.
The Nearest I ever got to 1, was 1 year when a Very large Buzzard swooped down onto the wall of the Villa and Snatched a Chameleon from the Wall, then soared off.


I am Am Very Lucky I will Try and get Some Pix of them in the copse. But I will Have to Check with the RSPCA if i can Photograph them.

Bit of an Update

I found out from Someone @ work who uses the Golf Course across the Way.

The Sparrow hawks Belong to the Golf Club. They Purchased 3 Pairs to Control the Pigeon/Magpie/Crow and Squirell Population.
They have free rain over the entire Area but never stray far from the Copse and the Golf Club.

Its Soooooooo Coooool, you Guys can't imagine how Happy it makes me Hearing Birds of Prey in my Own Back Yard "So to Speak".
I can't wait to Photograph them.
Thats My Free time sorted then, looking out for them.
