Drama yesterday! The sparrow hawk came back! I looked out of my window and saw this one sided fight with an inevitable ending...

The hawk must have just knocked the pigeon out of the sky because it was struggling to get away

Struggling quite hard in fact

The hawk eventually got things under control though. One less seed hoover in the garden now.

She started to enjoy the fruits (meats?) of her labours...

After a while these two magpies appeared in the tree (can you spot 'em?)

Which unnerved the hawk

So she took her prize between my sheds, out of their view

All the way through this she hadn't bothered about me, even though I went outside to get closer for better photos. I was no more than 5 metres away when I took this shot - but if ever a look said "back off buddy, this one's mine!", this is it! So I did and left her to it. A short time later I saw her fly into that big tree, leaving a bloody corpse for me to pick up and dispose of. One of my jobs for today... not looking forward to it tbh.

Wow! We have Red Kites hovering overhead sometimes, but never had them in the garden at snack time!

Morning .
We have a thin covering of cloud this morning .
It was a bit chilly out when I put our dustbin out this morning .
I think it's the black bin for me to put out tonight. Last time I put it out they totally ignored it, even though they emptied my neighbour's bin which was six feet away from mine. I'm hoping they have been to Specsavers since then.
