Sparrowhawk
I saw a sparrowhawk in Reay near to Sandside estate. Sorry no piccie.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

There was a sparrowhawk sitting in the bushes at the bottom of Nicolson Street last week. I did a double take because I didn't expect to see one there. It stayed there for a few minutes before flying away. It made a change from the usual starlings and house sparrows I see there!

Was looking out my Bedroom window in Pulteneytown the other day and I seen a massive hawk moving in to a tree really fast. It caught my eye because it shot past at pace. Turns out it was attempting to murder a wee wood pigeon - but don't worry bird fans - the Pigeon got away.

Our local bird was terrorizing the Collared doves here the other day. It is a regular visitor to the garden, although I have never seen it catch anything.
Away with the birds
I had a lovely viewpoint on a Sparrowhawk in my garden.........fantastic bird to watch..but it was devouring my garden birds and I couldn't help but feel I had set them up!Originally Posted by MagicalTrevor
It always looks to me as though it is wearing tartan..brown tartan..but none the less!
Magnificent creature.

Was it a sparrowhawk because they are one of the smallest species of hawk and tend to live near wooded/sheltered areas.

Well actually I have no idea if it was a sparrowhawk but it was about the size of a big scorrey :P Looked just like a hawk though.
