This wonderful picture of a sparrowhawk was sent in by Kilchoan resident David Norrie - for which, many thanks. The bird was in his front garden, sitting right beside the bird table, waiting for breakfast to come along.
There's a lot of sparrowhawk activity at the moment, with the result that the small birds are extremely nervous when they come in to feed. The sparrowhawks may be feasting on the hoards of small birds now but, as they take their toll, so their food source reduces, leaving them with thinner and thinner pickings.
