    Good shot bluedun, sparrow hawks seem to be thriving and getting more bold i'm afraid we are making the birds in our gardens easy targets by putting food out for them, looks like he's had a collard dove.

    Great shot B, I occasionally see one at work but never that close.

    The pigeon he was enjoying belonged to next door but one, (ha ha).

    Only problem he was disturbed by next doors dog that came through the fence, and I had to clean up the leftovers, still a load of feathers about, but the other birds (when they return) might use them for nesting.

    Very pleased with the photo taken through double glazing and with a tele converter.
