Sitting in the lounge just now chillin. Watching the feeder rig and thinking that when the pigeons come and go it’s like living near the airport.

Incredible! Another that looks like it's been coloured in by a 5 year old armed with a pack of fluorescent felt tips! :lol:

Was just coming out of the garage earlier today ( I say garage, it's more like a lockable skip tbh), and I heard a commotion from near our bird feeders and when I investigated, saw this female Sparrowhawk had stopped by for lunch. Sadly, the victim was one of our regular and very welcome Great Spotted Woodpeckers who nest near here.

Unfortunate for the woodpecker but what a great photo.

Thank you Mutey, it came out well considering it was through glass.

Yes, disappointed about the woodpecker, both adults have been daily regulars at our feeders and bring a glorious splash of colour every visit. We had a whole family there one time last year but that may not happen this year now one of the adults is no more.:-(

Fantastic pic Dave.
