Re: Sparrowhawk diet?

I was a mole controller for many years in Northumberland, on one farm I did, the farmer had a dovecots with double figured number of fantails..I say had, because a female sparrow hawk took all but three, the remaining trio would cagely peak from the dovecot, nip out for a quick bite to eat, and straight back in..I saw her take one when I was there one day, I thought it was snowing, the number of feathers that came down..
