Some of you will remember the female sparrowhawk that paid us a visit a few weeks ago. It was a cold, misty morning when she arrived - well now her mate had dropped in for a visit too!!!! 
He is such a handsome bird I just couldn't resist taking his piccie for you all to see.

Eileen I think that should be your new avatar, watching out over the community in case anyone puts a grubby foot wrong
Watching, always watching YOU.

Wow Eileen!! What a beautiful bird!!
glasfryn my sister would suntan out in our yard when we were teenagers and everytime she did the buzzards would circle over her!! She would get angry because we would laugh and tell her the birds are going to think your dead again if you go out to tan!!lol!!

jubabe,
when they come in the summer afternoons everything goes missing,birds and our six cats come in.
we also have many jets being tested overhead,very interesting but the cats hate them.
