my lucky day

[Charlton]

Have been trying to get photos of the sparrow hawk that visits my garden with a kill, got plenty on the fence, for years only had a few poor ones of the sparrow hawk in the neighbours garden at dusk. Well this afternoon, had been working in garage with grandson, walk into kitchen there was a squeal and there she was finishing off what I think is a blackbird.

Lucky day.

Well Alan m8 very good footage of your video/s and the sparrow hawk is beautiful bird to watch and im sure there must be a breeding pair there as its unusual to see 2 hanging around the same area and have you looked to see if there isa nest there with young m8

Nice going Alan - just goes to show it always pays to have your camera to hand! Were the stills taken from the videos, or did you have two cameras on the go?
