Cowart's Common Room
Hawk
A hawk has appeared in the sky and earlier it swooped down towards my sparrows on the far side of the hedge. I ran around but didn't see anything. I've seen it now twice in the sky. It isn't a large bird but flies about twice as fast as everything else. Any idea how I can keep it away and all the sparrow fledglings are out like a flock of bees.

Yes I was watching the programme of Spring Watch Withy and I had to switch it off poor chicks.
It's a difficult one Fennie you are like me when it comes to trying to look after and save our birds. Then there are the cats, who lurk about trying to get the birds there is one big black and white one here that creeps about outside near the fields and gardens. I read on the internet recently that some cats don't bother to kill but other cats do. It was suggested that take the DNA from the cats that don't bother to kill the birds and inject it into the cats that do that way there would be a lot more birds saved in our habitat.

However, I cannot stand by and watch the hawk pluck and kill one of the pigeons - it is a slow awful process. I wouldnt mind so much if it was one swipe, the bird was dead and then the hawk ate it but it's not like that.....
