The wood pigeons have left .....


      

       
....  the nest because of this fellow. 
This is a sparrow hawk;   all the birds who live in the trees on the bank, opposite the back door have gone into hiding.
The sparrow hawk was not easy to photo!

Yesterday this little trawler was sailing by, not a common sight but an occasional visitor.

You have kestrels AND a sparrow hawk? You lucky, lucky girls altough, I have to say, a tad greedy.

Keep them hanging around so that I may see them in June!
