Goldfinches
Sparrowhawk

The niger feeder has
been in place since yesterday afternoon and, by lunchtime today,
one goldfinch has already found it.
Sparrowhawk on bench
A grey sparrowhawk rests on the herb bed for a
few minutes then flies down the garden to the bench where, on a
previous occasion, I saw a sparrowhawk plucking and eating its prey.
This one has not made a kill.
Shortly after it flies around over next door's garden then perches
on our shed before flying off over the meadow, swooping as it goes.

Next door's weeping willow, which was lopped recently |
A
heron is forced to take evasive action - flapping to
gain height - when a flock of wood pigeons suddenly burst
forth from the wood.
