Thanks for that Devo
It's easier if you actually read the descriptions as well as looking at the pictures lol

got 2 of the eagles wrong way round but didn't read the info just went off the shapes

Here's my resident pain, she's there most days, just biding her time

That's what I did mate I actually got the Kesteral and Red Kite wrong and they are two of the most obvious lol

As if anyone cares.
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.

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.

I got the Goshawk wrong out of them
I have never seen one luckily though

I thought they were more streamlined than the image

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.
