not seen the sparrowhawk for weeks, not even during the recent spell of lovely weather a week or so ago... (it is usually around on warm bright days).

I did spot a bird of prey which had obviously been killed by a car when i was out on country roads a few weeks ago... i couldn't identify it, don't have enough knowledge, i hope it wasn't "my" sparrowhawk...

Although the garden is quite a hive of activity.... magpies, robins, bluetits, blackbirds, sparrows and starlings, pigeons... i expect all of these are pretty common though...
