Re: Sparrowhawk menace?

Both aeshna5 and Gill Catton's replies are excellent The only other thing I would add is that Sparrowhawks are possibly responsible for culling the weaker birds as they are possibly the slowest to react to attacks.

Personally I would never site a feeding station that isn't close to cover. If you do you invite problems like this.
