Completely off topic, but …
We had an interesting visitor to our Exeter garden yesterday, a sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus ), which had killed a pigeon. I came out of the kitchen door and heard a fluttering of wings. When I looked across she was dragging her catch a little further from the door, but certainly wasn’t going to give it up just because I had appeared.
I stepped back inside and went for the camera. She spent about an hour there, giving me a chance to take a number of pictures and even a bit of video, all from inside the house.
Once she had devoured her prey she sat giving me a look that said ‘Who’s next?’
