I wonder where the 'sparrowhawks' have their residence.
It might sound strange but at least three times I have witnessed one taking off with one of my sparrows and always so unexpected, without making any sound and his/her sudden appearance was like a flashlight.. and all that in the middle of a town...
It could be the same one always returning knowing there's a large sparrow population in my garden... It's hard though to witness..

My collared doves managed to land on the bird feeder too after some adaptations I made so they have room to stand and get to the food.

The weather is so depressingly dark, wet and dull as you will notice in my pict. which was taken around noon today!
