Sparrowhawk, in my garden and just two days before Garden Birdwatch

The male Sparrowhawk who has been terrorising my garden birds for most of the winter quite unconcerned when it saw me in the drive with a camera. He's maybe having more trouble finding prey in this snow, I've also seen a female but she's not as brazen as the male.


Some of the winter visitors who always keep a look out for the hawk above. The feral pigeons which are easily spooked keep startling all of the small birds, and so they should as I suspect the female sparrowhawk to be responsible for the remains of a pigeon in Olive's garden.

Siskins, looks like a male at the back and a female in front.
Only the second Wren I've seen this winter in the garden and the first I've managed to get a photo of, although not a good one as it was at the bottom of a bush during the rain/snow.
