    Have you any thing that would make a protective cage around the nest allowing the birds access but denying the cat?

    Sparrow Hawks are beautiful though, however mean they may be, this is the circle of life, and you can feel good that you didn't cause the danger by moving the nest or anything like that.
    I have a brilliant secret when it comes to bird watching. I go out early while it's still dark and sit down somewhere in the woods. When the day begins I scatter live bird food about me, and it attracts loads of them for me to take pictures of, it's brilliant.
