Dead Sparrowhawk

[jaypen 10]

Just found a dead Sparrowhawk on the garden. Does anyone know if we have to report this to the RSPB due to them being a protected species. Thanks J

No. You don't.

 

However, you could help research by sending it here:

Has it been ringed?

bet the sparrows ganged up on it,they get fed up of being dive bombed by the bigger bird

Well it would have been outnumbered theres thousands of sparrows round here. Thats the first sparrowhawk I've seen for ages. J

Wow a Sparrowhawk Hawk must have got it.

 

They're nasty buggers so so silent and beautiful.

Plastic bag it and into the general waste dustbin.

 

Angel.

They are beautiful birds and great to watch

Can I ask what area this was found in?

 

Seen one around here in S13 on and off since last year.

We are in s 13 near Richmond Park. So it could be the one you've seen. It is such a shame. I thought it was a wood pigeon at first. Then a kestrel but my O H took 1 look and knew it was a sparrowhawk. I can't say I've seen any flying around here so it unfortunately could be he same one. J

[SpeedwayDan 10]

Thanks.

 

It could well be the same one then.

 

They're great birds to watch so it will be a shame if it's the same one and we don't get to see it again.
