To find a large bird of prey in their garden. Lunchtime yesterday, I spotted a large bird in the garden, clutching a (hopefully) dead pigeon in it's claws. My Guide to Local Birds identified it as an adult female Sparrowhawk. Definitely not something you see everyday.
It then proceeded to pluck and eat the pigeon. I have ever only seen something like this on a nature program. Fortunately, I also managed to take some video footage of it as well.
A singularly beautiful creature, despite the fact my dear mother couldn't believe what it was going to do with the pigeon.
till next time,
Alex.
