| A Sparrowhawk in my garden
Yesterday I saw my first Sparrowhawk.
I've 5 bird feeders in the garden and I get a lot of blue tits, coal tits, a few great tits, goldfinches, greenfinches and lots of sparrows, basically the garden is always full of birds.
I looked out the kitchen window and there it was, sitting at the edge of the little pond, unmistakably a Sparrowhawk. I think I could see that it was holding on to something, it flew to the grass and then took off into the trees with what looked like a little sparrow.
Is it likely to return to the garden now that it's been "successful" here?
Maybe it's not its first visit, just the first sighting I've had of it.
It's a weird feeling, some excitement at seeing my first Sparrowhawk followed immediately by the thought that its about to eat the little birds I love so much.
I know it's nature at work and I guess it means the balance is right in some way...
