In my post of the 20th October I predicted that having seen one one Sparrowhawk, I’d soon see more.
Well, I was driving through the village a couple of days ago and I saw another. It flew out of a small wood and along the road, so I had a good view of it.
Two years of wanting to see a Sparrowhawk, and then I see two in less than two weeks! It really is strange how this happens…
I’ve never seen one, but am now looking at some online videos of Sparrowhawks… interesting!
Cheers,

I don’t see many but I was so lucky once when one zoomed past me at head height and close range, weaving in and out of the trees in the woods. Fantastic.
That’s a great video Mungo. I’m even more jealous of you, Pablo, for seeing the real thing. Since my total Sparrowhawk experience still adds up only about ten seconds or so, I can’t claim to be an expert, but I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes open.
Birds of prey are just cool, and they know it!
