A Hunting Life :)

[Rez 4,957]

Went down stairs this morning for the coffee pot. Heard some magpies right kicking off outside. They've been bullyin' some local thrush family at the end of the garden over the past for weeks, thought, right.... Snuck into the garage to get my HM being the quietist. Crept back to the kitchen. Still, a loud bitchin'... normally they've buggered off with there sixth sense of danger the little sods.

 

Out to the garden and this made me feel like Id missed the boat.

 

Doesn't care if its a clean kill or not. It'll just eat its catch alive. Absolute savage

[Apologies for the language... obviously epic sight, never seen anything like this before... IN THE GARDEN.]

If any one could let me know what bird this is... not up to speed on my birds of prey. Kept saying Hawke, but Im thinking Kestral/Peregrine.

Do they normally take prey larger than a sparrow then?

 

I would assume they'll grab oat that takes there fancy, bigger or smaller than a pouncy sparrow.

Good video.

Yep hen sparrow hawk. They will take woodies and pheasant poults.

 

Reminds me of when a Maggie was mobbing a squirrel in a pine.

I got the Maggie and as it tumbled down through the pine the squirrel chased it down and grabbed it and fanged it all over!

 

Then I shot the squirrel?

If you wind onto take 5-22/ 6-45 the Hawk turns towards the camera and you can distinctly hear " Burrrrp" !

Think it might of just come back to pick up whatever 'bits' might be left over from the tussle this side of the fence. Nice to see the 'pie getting a taste of its own med-sen

Great! - often have one visit my bird table. The other month I was sat out watching the birds visit the table and one came over the fence by an inch and tried to take a sparrow on the edge of the bird bath. It misjudged and clonked into the side of the bowl! and the sparrow escaped.
