| Re: Sparrow Hawk Attacks
They're spectacular birds indeed and from what you have told us, your one is top predator in a diverse and staple food chain, so well done to you for providing all those involved with the means to keep it staple.
I've seen our resident sprawks take out an unsuspecting starling by bending round a corner of our house full tilt, obviously after an overhead fly past. They're not daft. They know how to attack from a close vantage point. One spring, we had 4 hits in one day-feeding chicks I should think. Amazing birds- I love them.
