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!

Who's eaten all the pies?
A very satisfied looking Cyril or possibly a Weeble, if you remember those.

Thanks all. These always make me laugh, it's not a rare sight which explains why we have regular power-cuts.
It's almost artistic.
I had a highly entertaining visitor today. I haven't worked out if it's a youngster but given the speed it was flying up and down trees, galloped across my flat roof and was investigating everything I feel it might be.
