| Sparrowhawk menace?
Neighbours have asked me to enquire if any members can suggest a way of either discouraging sparrowhawks, or would they be allowed to remove and resite these birds if they could be captured. Our gardens were once full of small birds, and one neighbour has at least 15 feeders hanging in his garden. You could see these small birds swooping down to feed whenever he came out - twice a day - to feed them.
However, he has seen 2 sparrowhawks around recently and believes that they might have scared the others birds away, and would appreciate some advice. Preference would be to discourage the sparrowhawks - maybe not putting food out for a while might make the sparrowhawks look elsewhere. What do you think?
