| Furore
My wife called me to the window this morning (early) and on the rooftop opposite sat
a Sparrowhawk ,literally surrounded by Crows,Magpies and various other birds
then at some invisible signal,the larger birds first, the whole mob attacked the
Sparrowhawk which disappeared under a flurry of wings and beaks,after a few seconds it burst out of the melee and winged it followed closely by the Crows
It flew around twisting and jinking apparently very reluctant to leave the area but was eventually seen off.
I have often seen birds being mobbed but nothing to match the concerted fury of this one and the reluctance of the Sparrowhawk to leave
