Aww thanks PB....were they squabbling.....well there was some drama but it also involved a sparrowhawk and a blackbird.

As I walked down the path from the carpark I could hear a bird whimpering and a bit of wing flapping. I stopped and looked 10ft infront of me at the bottom of a berry bush and I could see sprawk with its dinner but dinner wasn't giving up without a fight and as I tried to take pics and film it a Buzzard dropped down fae the sky and attacked the sprawk which then flew right at me and dropped its dinner, circled round me and picked it back up and off it went into the woods with its meal as the Buzzard screamed at it then it was joined by 2 others, there was some bickering amongst the buzzards but with that blue sky it was amazing to watch.
It was a mental couple of minutes 😆
