My garden is usually full of birds; but not today.
Yesterday I put out fresh water and filled the bird feeders with seeds and nuts, and this morning I expected to see most of it gone, but when I looked I saw that it had not been touched. I did however, notice that their was an awful lot of bird crap around.
Strange I thought ! and then about lunch time I discovered the reason why, for there sitting on one of my large flower pots was this most beautiful sparrow hawk.
I tried to get close for a clear photo shot, but he took one look at me and decided that a tree in my neighbour’s garden was a better place to hang out.
I get a great variety of birds in my garden, but very rarely do I see a bird of prey. Nice to see once in a while, but I hope that he soon pisses off back to the countryside, so that all my other little feathered mates can return home, get something to eat … and …
…… stop shitting themselves !
