It's tough out there!

The male Sparrowhawk is a truly stunning bird and we are fortunate to have a mature bird visiting our garden, albeit infrequently. The small birds in the garden are not so fortunate though, as what looked like a Goldfinch, found out earlier today. Mercifully for the Goldfinch it was all over in a split second, but I’m afraid it’s a price they pay for persistently feeding out in the open. The other garden birds eat seed and then immediately retreat to cover.
The deep colour of this male bird shows his maturity – it's tough out there!!
