Re: Sparrowhawk

I would agree with those above, it's great having a Sparrowhawk in your garden. The way I see it is that, the fact there is a Sparrowhawk around means there is a healthy population of song birds and the like so even if it does take a few there are always going to be lots more around, after all a predator like the Sparrowhawk never eliminates all of it's prey species, otherwise there would be nothing left for it to eat!

It all balances out in the end, so I would just enjoy seeing this fantastic bird paying you a visit.
