Coincidence, that was the first thing I thought! Excellent stuff though.

A few delightful Long Tail Tits paid a visit this morning.

Had a visitor to our garden on Saturday afternoon, problem was they were clearly too slow to evade the other visitor
My wife managed to take the first one from about 8 feet away. No way the Sparrowhawk was letting go

Trigger warning, raptor and prey

TRIGGER WARNING RAPTOR AND PREY

Had this visitor to the garden on Saturday. Pretty sure there's a pair in Morriston park, that's where all our birds come from. Was fascinating to watch while being distressing at the same time. Wanted to help the pigeon but the Sparrowhawk was not letting go. SO nature's way took it's course. Wife managed to get quite close for the first photo, rest were from the house.

Cannot for the life of me work out how to share photos so this will have to do

Sparrowhawk caught a pigeon in the garden over the weekend. Pretty distressing while also being utterly fascinating to watch. WIfe managed to get a few photos from pretty close up.

Clearly have not got it.

Can someone explain to me how to post photos on here please. I've tried hosting sites, attachments and its not working. I searched for a post on it but couldn't find anything.
Thanks

Your files are too big. I’ve just saved your photos off twitter and they won’t load.
As for the other links it looks like you’ve copied the wrong link off the hosting site to me,don’t use the first one use the second one.

Clearly have not got it.

A few delightful Long Tail Tits paid a visit this morning.

One of my favourites too, always welcome on our feeders and sometimes we get a gang of 8-10 of them, especially at this time of year.
