Sparrowhawk news


The sparrowhawk is still in the garden every day, sometimes for hours at a time.  I haven't seen many kills recently but I don't now spend much time watching him.  He must be making a living because he seems fit and healthy.  He continues to spend most of his time sitting on the far side of the kitchen garden.

From there he can launch attacks all over the garden.



Sometimes he comes closer to the window and now that the sun is higher in the sky he may be in better light.




Another recent perch is an old log a bit farther away.




Here he is monitoring the sky from there.



The sparrowhawks here in the two previous winters both disappeared by the end of March so we'll see what this one decides to do.
