While we were watching the pretty Wheatears on the dry stone dyke behind the car, suddenly a Eurasian Sparrowhawk swooped over the bonnet and headed for the dyke.
Remember I mentioned a big black hole a couple of weeks ago, well he landed right there, and spread his wings for a moment cowling over it. Eventually he moved away, up onto the nearby gate post before flying off.
We went over to investigate the area by the hole, but no sign of feathers and he hadn't got one in his talons when he moved away, so appears the wheatear escaped.
Saturday Fun
