I thought you'd have kept the lid on that story

Done this myself in the past but with the male parent as I was too slow to understand the commotion which resulted in me witnessing one of its young being carried off to be eaten and fed in the preceding week. Not sure in retrospect that I should have intervened, could be that the very bald and shell-shocked male which the sparrowhawk dropped in our garden might have died subsequently of its wounds. I've never googled how death results for their prey but the talons of a sparrowhawk I suspect are like needles, if correct then they will puncture their prey and not only latch on to it. I give them credit over some critters though, they do it for food and not for fun. My thinking with hindsight is that they do it for food and having deprived them of one kill that may now die regardless the hawk will now have to go off and make another kill to fill the void which the intervention has created.

Evening all, It makes a change not to keep watering the plants today after the rain we had overnight & this morning.
The gardens certainly needed it & hopefully it was enough to put out the fires on the moors north of us. We had chicken thighs baked in those Maggi garlic & herb impregnated sheets you wrap around the meat, Boy are they good with roast spuds & veggies. Quote:
Yeah I more or less said the same thing to my missus after I went out to shoo it away, It's nature & it's what happens I know but at the time I just thought Nah mate not today. I've seen the young blackbird out in the garden twice today & it doesn't look any worse for wear.

It’s been a cold day here, yesterday I was in a t shirt and sweltering in the heat, today I had a fleece, jacket, hat and gloves on it was that bl00dy cold.
Ironic innit,April and May absolutely great,then no sooner into June and it’s back to the cr@p weather again. Forecast to be unsettled for the next two weeks up here.
