Just been down to the pill box, saw a few feathers & something hopping further into it, thought it was an injured Pigeon, so quietly went in to see if I could help it. Came face to face with a Kestrel tearing a blackbird apart. It tried to fly thru the window. Remembering the 70lb per square inch tallons, I grabbed a sheet of cardboard & managed to shoo it out the door before it hurt itself. :OUCH:
I was cussing for not having the camera, as it sat still in the middle for a while, about 4 feet from me. Mind you, my camera is so awkward to open he probably would have killed me in the time it would have taken.
I was in the kitchen last Friday and glanced through the window to see a sparrowhawk sat on one of my big slate pieces, :thumb:ran for the camera and hubby shouted shes going for the sparrows, they were all hiding in the bushes. I know they all have to live but not on my sparrows
