It's only a tiny garden so i was surprised when this happened, took one of the resident Starlings and proceeded to eat it alive much to Mrs Pipster's disgust....the noises the Starling made were pretty horrendous...it's a Sparrowhawk if anyone's wondering....
Fascinating isn't it? Many years ago my dad and me got to within feet of a Sparrowhawk which had caught a woodie in the garden and wasn't for leaving it.
Had a sparrowhawk swoop down a few feet in front of me and the dog and grab a pied wagtail. The poor thing flew right into the hawks path prob because we'd startled it as we walked by. Amazing thing to witness but harsh.
