The other day there were piles of feathers in the garden. I thought maybe a sparrowhawk had caught a pigeon. I cleared the feathers up.
Then today, I heard a magpie shouting from the garden. When I looked there was the sparrowhawk sitting on top of a pigeon. It started the process of plucking the feathers ready to get to the inside to eat.
I decided to try and take a video of the scene. This was taken through the kitchen window on a Panasonic Lumix camera.
Nannie RaRa has published her latest book: Jenny Wren to the rescue.
This is the tale of Jenny Wren who was looking for some tasty creatures to eat for lunch. But who will be eaten?
Gregory Grasshopper looks very appetising, but instead of eating him they become friends. Jenny narrowly misses being eaten by a sparrowhawk while protecting Gregory from a frog.
Does Jenny eventually find her lunch? Read the book to find out.
The book is illustrated with paintings done in watercolour and gouache by Nannie RaRa, mostly from photographs she has taken.
It is available from Amazon both as a paperback and in electronic format.
