An amazing sight, if not a little sad!!

I was sitting in my garden, enjoying the bit cooler weather the other evening, when a dunnock was singing away on the neighbours shed, I was admiring its tuneful song, he then came down to forage for food on the ground. Seconds later there was a almighty rustle in the bushes and out came a sparrowhawk with the dunnock firmly in its tallons. It stopped completely still and was staring at me, I moved my arm to try and get my husbands attention and it flew off. I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed, amazing. The sparrowhawk must have been laying in wait for its prey and must have been sitting there while I was enjoying the sun.

nature at it's cruellest, but still a spectacle to behold .
