Didn't know he had a dog. His tickling stick is probably dead though.

Coincidence or what?
Hadn’t seen a sparrowhawk for well over a year. After mentioning one yesterday in here, today when I’m getting my dinner ready I hear magpies making more than the usual commotion outside the kitchen window.
I have a look and there on the grass was a hawk with it’s wings in the protective stance over some small bird that looked like a small blackbird in it’s talons. It was being mobbed by magpies. One in particular being very brave.
I assumed it was a sparrowhawk but it was much bigger than the magpie which made me wonder.
Maybe a falcon but I’m not sure.

It flew off with it’s prey anyway.

I've seen magpies trying to gang up on it,they also peck the arses of the foxes,they are fucking nutters lol
A hawk up close is fantastic isn't it

Sounds more like a peregrine mate.

Looked it up in my twitchers guide and that’s what I thought.

They’re fantastic birds, I love hunting with them.

I genuinely had a peacock in mine a few years ago. Very random. Get lots of blue tits and robins. I have a regular pigeon as well which must be kept because it’s so clean looking. And fat.
