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
The good thing is to a degree with the sparrow hawk is that it’s lifespan is on average around 4 years, the males a bit less, 69% of adults survive each year. Only 34% of youngsters survive their first year.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

Hopefully she’s dead my worry is on the winter where I fail to move them on I normally suffer in the spring
