Frank and Sheila from Brazil........ really
All of us in our street feed the birds and when you encourage a higher density of small bird you get this predating on them. If only they killed the before started to eating them. It's a sparrow hawk by the way.

My parents used to feed a Robin, it started to come in their conservatory and eat crumbs off the coffee table.All of us in our street feed the birds and when you encourage a higher density of small bird you get this predating on them.

Sadly a sparrowhawk got it one day - it landed on the garden fence, dropped down to the ground and caught the Robin....it all happened in a few seconds.

We get regular visits from a Sparrowhawk, sometimes she gets lucky, eating a member of the Crow family

Female is bigger & there are differences on the chest bars, cant remember exactly
With the surplus food I’ve been putting out for the birds, I’ve seen a mouse several times picking up seeds. Anyway we were eating tea the other night and I saw a pigeon swoop down and land in our border. It was bloody fast and when I looked again, it was a sparrow hawk probably after a mouse. It didn’t get anything and flew off after a few moments. First time I’ve ever seen one in my garden and up that close.
Males - yes.
Looks like a sparrow with a chest wound.

Goldfinches are pretty common these days and probably Britains most exotic looking bird
They like niyja seed and sunflower hearts
A far prettier bird than these Paraketes we see now.
