Sparrowhawk (and starling!)
Laura writes: The one that got away… Loud thud on window, and lots of squawking from outside. Sparrowhawk had swooped in and grabbed a Starling and now had it pinned it down on patio. I immediately opened the door and ventured out; Sparrowhawk had moved down the path with a very distraught and loud starling in its clutches. Sparrowhawk watching me, and I’m watching her. Starling squawking loudly for its life. Took a quick pic. Sparrowhawk lets go and retreats to wall at end of the garden momentarily, then off and away. Starling, no doubt very startled escapes safely too, launching itself up with its lucky chance of freedom, flying in the other direction.
Sparrowhawk will join us again in the garden soon no doubt.
