Re: Sparrow Hawk Attacks

Hello good morning and welcome! Spawks are interesting to watch esp if you get regular visits and not just a random fly-by as you can see what is actually going on and how it goes about it.

If you look thro the threads you will see speculation (the Autumnwatch thread) about that spawk drowning incident: my husband watched the one at work (he's a ranger in sev town parks) take a noisy feisty starling to one of the ponds in the park and drown it. Raises some questions in my mind like did the bird actually think it thro that drowing will cause death and bring a quiet meal?!
