Monday 22nd February 2010


I had the closest ever encounter with a Sparrowhawk today when one swooped towards me, grabbed a mouse off the patio and then – splat – crashed into the conservatory window right in front of me. Slightly stunned it fluttered onto the snowy grass. Two seconds later a cat pounced at it and it flew off. Three seconds later the camera switched on.

    I hope the mouse escaped. I guess not though.

  4. Shame for the mouse, but I guess it made it all worth it for the sparrowhawk!
