Sparrowhawk!

Sitting here in my kitchen studying just now, when something hit the window with a huge thump. Rushed outside to see a Sparrowhawk taking off across the garden with a cock Blackbird in its talons. It sat in a corner of my garden for long enough for me to grab the binoculars and get a really good look before it flew off with its prey.

Wow!

I'm having a good day here - Muntjac, a black squirrel and a fox on my walk earlier, and now a Sparrowhawk in the front garden. Utter magic!

Eeeeeeeeeee! So exciting! (I was going to say that the Sparrowhawk is my favorite falcon, until I remembered that yours is a different bird altogether. Ours is now called the American Kestrel. *g*)

Wow! OMG how cool for you!
