As if anyone cares. :evil: :twisted:
If it's a hawk and it's attacking my youngsters, I will spend no time identifying it's species as I put it in the bin.
Greetings from the land down under. :D

There's a small hawk, a sparrowhawk or something i suppose, hanging around. It's figured out there are pigeons here. Horrid, sly little things they are.

Horrible things normally move 2-4 a year on but no luck this year
I had a big hen about here a few months ago but I haven’t seen her since November
Sunday last week was the first I saw of one in the garden

They are killing machines. They will chase their prey even if going to ground. Our old secretary lived next too the Longleat estate. In the space of under a month he went from 44 pigeons to 4. Packed up the pigeons after that.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
