jasper65 6 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 cracking pictures Tinman . seems like they're becoming more Urban these days. the wife put out a couple of bird feeding stations which bring in all sorts from Nuthatches and just lately some Bramblings. the problem is its like a Sparrowhawk resturant . we put the food out to help the birds this time of the year and the Spars have tagged onto a easy meal and now visit regular. Don't get me wrong I like Sparrowhawks but they hammer the birds in our garden. atb Jasp Quote Link to post

trappa 518 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 They are getting more urban. My friend said he had seen a sparrowhawk in redcar town centre, i didnt believe him to be honest until i was sat at a crossing waiting for train to go past and it flew straight past my windscreen.
