Starting with a first for me ... Sparrowhawk in neighbour's garden here in quarry, only ever seen a seemingly lost youngster many years ago!
Grabbed ID vid footage through d/glazed door, then battery died & by time I'd replaced it to go outside for better res a delivery driver stopped next door & frightened the bird off!! grrrrrr
Hope it's a one-off for the sake of my Spadger horde!

A photo just sent from my Australian niece showing two Black Cockatoo birds who managed to peck through a whole thick branch of a tree in their garden, crashing a large chunk of the tree to the ground LOL naughty Cockatoos !
and large part of tree which they managed to fell !!!

Thanks, Hazel. There were a few others about, but they blend in really well and can be easily spooked as you stumble upon them without noticing until it's too late. :-/
