It is not in my garden but I took the pic from the garden, the dish is on a block of four storey flats so is quite high up, as you can see he is having a nap with one leg rested

There seems to be some territorial goings on between the sparrowhawk and kestrel at the moment, there have been lots of loud noises coming from the birds.

The gulls don't seem to mind the kestrel like they do the hawk???
