Alan spotted this sparrow hawk on his lawn.
What's it up to? Well these bird remains were all that was left of her prey when the hawk had gone. Sparrow hawks chase small birds such as sparrows, finches and tits, through bushes and across gardens. They are very fast and manoeuvrable.
This is what they look like close to. The female is larger than the male, about the size of a blackbird and a feral pigeon respectively.
