Love to see birds of prey, sometimes you see a really big one in the countryside where I live. Beautiful animals.
Sparrow hawk
An effective one, apparently
It’s a pigeon
I’m going to say it’s a not hungry anymore bird
It’s a Sparrowhawk and one took a black bird right in front of me this summer, looked me square in the eyes and flew off with it, I was not amused as I love my black birds.
as people have said its a Sparrow Hawk, one of the handful of Birds Of Prey we have in this country.
Looks like a bird mate
…….”clever girl”
those who know, nice.
What a beauty. Got one that lives in a tree by me.
Pigeonfucker
A naughty one.
Murder turkey.
Here in Wakefield, we have a family of Peregrine Falcons living on top of the cathedral. They help keep the ‘pigeon problem’ and any rats etc under control. (There’s just a normal amount of pigeons for a city centre)
They like to fly up as high as they want, rip their heads off and then just sorta drop them (so now instead of alive pigeons there’s just decapitated ones bc that’s apparently better), but when they eat one they **really** go to town on it
Dead one innit
Our Kez
Judging by the way it’s eviscerating that bird: sparrowhawk.
Lady Sparrowhawk, for sure
Oh this is beautiful. A Sparrowhawk in action. How amazing.
Sparrow hawk showing off their pretty feathers, fun fact, they put their wings around their prey to hide it from other birds so they don’t know what they are eating!
A dead one
Sparrowhawk. Whenever you see a ring of feathers like the one she (I think she) is creating there, you know there’s a sparrowhawk around.
How fast can a laden sparrowhawk fly?
Yeah, Sparrowhawk.
Had one leave a few dead pigeons in my garden, so can confirm.
Well not a nun, I’ll tell you that for free.
A good one… That is one less pigeon
A pigeon…its a dead pigeon….Oh and a Sparrowhawk
Murderchicken
I would guess the one that’s not feeling well is a wood pigeon.
Looks like a Goshawk
Probably a hungry one but now a full one.
A hungry one
The flying kind
sparrowhawk!
Could be a Coopers hawk with that tail banding and back colouring.
The Victor.
Sparrowhawk. We just released one back into the wild last week after an injury.
