I've struggled with the idea of posting this one
A beautiful bird but an unwelcome visitor to our garden
This was the aftermath we witnessed taking place a few days ago.
Sadly one of our little sparrows lost it's life before we witnessed this scene.
I understand we eat meat, so in theory I'm no different from this Sparrowhawk hunting it's prey
It's just so difficult to watch when for months on end the little sparrows who nested in our bushes, brought up what seemed like a multitude of offspring, fledged and continue to return to our feeders
We have grown so attached to their playful, funny characters
I'd certainly never make a wildlife photographer. Im in tears watching Frozen Planet 2
I'd want to try and save them all
Well, I also thought although not in flight I can capture images of birds (not the blurry variety)
Not crystal clear, taken through the kitchen window, which may have needed cleaning
It tells a story, if nothing else
We just hope he doesn't chose to do a return visit
