Two top predators

We had a little bit of wet snow this morning, the first of the winter.  I wasn't surprised when the sparrowhawk turned up because he has been here every day recently.  The kestrel has also been around a lot in the past few days so I was pleased to get his photo sitting on the gate, although it was a long shot through a rainy window.  It was interesting that the birds on the feeders 20m away took no notice of him, even though they do sound the alarm if he flies over or through the garden.  And they panic at the first hint of a sparrowhawk.
