Sue and I were enjoying afternoon tea in the garden, yesterday, with our friendly great tits, robin and wood pigeons twittering and cooing, when everything went very quiet.
We had an unwelcome visitor. Sue spotted her on next door's roof.
Sparrowhawks are fairly rarely seen in our garden (but that doesn't mean they rarely visit). This one was biding its time. I spent a while trying to get a good picture - it was a bit too far away really - and the bird obliged by entering into a staring contest. After about ten minutes I conceded defeat and gave up!
The usual birds were back to normal today, with the robin staying very safe by keeping within a few feet of Sue as she was gardening.
