Ahhhh, the bird we were looking for

h/t H,

This blogs good and often quiet friend has provided me with answer to the bird question from two posts ago, it is a Sparrow Hawk. Not only that, she has furnished us with a photo she took of one getting down to business.

Thankyou H, and guys – this photo is living proof that birds do indeed go for the Jugular

I saw one of them in the back garden, scoffing a pied wagtail, one day when you were rabbitting on down the phone about something I wasn’t paying attention to.

JK, I think they’re equal opportunity omnivores. If it’s got feathers, it’ll eat it. I’m pretty sure they eat fwuffy wabbits and such like, too.
