peakview   10 #25 Posted February 8, 2015 There today at 10am. One on the edge.  Rubbish viewing angle meant you can only see half the bird. Shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
old tup   30 #26 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I have a couple of bird feeders just outside my study window,I was watching a few blue tits and dunnocks feeding last week when bam a peregrine female swooped from nowhere and grabbed a small bird!.She landed on the lawn and proceeded to butcher and eat the prey,she was a beautiful specimen,after a short time despite me standing stock still she stared at me with a piercing looking eye and she was off flying away with her catch!.It was amazing the speed of the attack,I see a sparrowhawk at odd times in my garden landing having a quick look around and off again,there must be a few predators around because its very quiet on the feeders at the present time!.
