Sparrowhawk - Accipiter nisus - my garden Wool Dorset -030521 (39)
From about 7am there were about 30 Jackdaws making such a noise flying over & around my house. According to my neighbour he could see them trying to chase off a Sparrowhawk that had taken one of the "family". The noise eventually stopped & nearly 2 hours later my husband noticed the Sparrowhawk in our garden devouring the bird.
We could only take photos through the window as we did not wish to scare it away & as we clicked it kept turning its head towards the house looking for the source of the noise. It stayed about 30 mins & then flew off with the remains of breakfast in its claws.

Sorry for all of you who may have already viewed several photos taken by Richard, he's just faster at editing or could it be more spare time.😉
