Sparrowhawk
Sparrowhawk
Picture is from the beginning of February, but i have not been posting here in a while, so i might as well catch up with some snaps from my balcony ☺️
I believe she wanted to catch finches or tits on my balcony, it was on the same day the baby pigeons from the upstairs balcony started flying and visiting. I was a bit worried for them.
The pigeon couple kept on breeding up there, their latest babies will probably start flying again this or next weekend. Madlads.
You're viewing a single thread.
Is that the sparrowhawk turning its back on watering and feeding trays specifically protected against its attacks by that framework?
When i first saw it, it was sitting on top of the feeder. I saw a tit bump against my balcony door from the corner of my eye a couple minutes earlier and wondered why that had happened. Then i realized the sparrowhawk was there. It was then observing the feeder for probably three hours from a tree. The photo was taken after its second failed attempt, so yeah, i guess you're right, haha.
I did not see it in the following days, but the lil birds kinda stayed away from the feeder too for a while. Also have not seen the baby pigeons after their first flights, maybe it got lucky there.
Bonus
BTW, did my reply from my wren post reach you the other day? I posted it from pixelfed but it did not show up here. I deleted the pixelfed account now, but would be interesting to know if it maybe reached you as a dm or something.
Was that against "Wrens are so restless, aren’t they :) Part of their charm." - I don't think I saw any reply to that.
Yes, exactly. Thanks.
I was just saying that it really was the first time that i observed a wren when it showed up in my flower pot 😆 It disappeared for 5 seconds in the depths of the pot, then it appeared and for half a second at some random spot, haha. So it was kinda tricky to take a snap of it.
That's what I'd expect of any of the small insect-eating birds! Worth it when the snap works, though!
