This magnificent Sparrowhawk has decided to perch himself on a tree in my back garden for the last few days. The reasons for his appearance was not immediately obvious to me until I observed him acrobatically attacking the finches which I regularly feed (note – I have temporarily stopped feeding them). The Sparrowhawk is only doing what comes naturally and the results of his efforts will be documented in my next post. Those of you who do not appreciate nature in action may wish to look away.
