A few days ago a sparrowhawk was on the ground near the crop stubble with three eager magpies hanging around. The magpies were waiting to see if they could get a share of whAtever the sparrowhawk was eating. Think it was a rabbit which one wouldn’t necessarily expect.

I am afraid I have to report that on Friday (3rd) we found a dead adult sparrowhawk in Big Meadow. Jon from RSPB positively identified it from my photographs and mentioned that one possible cause of death was mobbing by magpies.
