....and both on the same day.
Mr B got the woodpecker through the dirty windows downstairs in the morning, and in the afternoon called F upstairs with her phone to capture the sparrowhawk.
That is a bad sparrowhawk photo, and could be a pigeon to any normal eye, but it really does have a stripy tummy like me.
They only permitted one click each, but indications are that we might see more of each of them.
You could set up a spy-cam in the garden to get up close and personal with them.

ReplyDeleteOh I say - excellent work those peeps! And thanks, Tigger, for repawting on the sightings as well as providing the proof! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
You scored a double! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to birdwatch from home. Would love to see these.
ReplyDeleteMagpies are the most common here and maybe a hawk far up on patrol
Woodpeckers are amazingly hard to capture. They're so alert they're gone before you can aim your camera. I have them around a lot and have never yet got a good pic.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! We enjoy observing birds in our back yard, too. Is the woodpecker sitting on a suet feeder? We imagine that the hawk will frighten the smaller birds.
ReplyDeleteYou won't catch them with your claws will you Tigger?
ReplyDeleteIs a stripy tummy an indication that cats and sparrowhawks are related in some way? I wonder, because little birdies are afraid of both of you :)
ReplyDeleteThey will tell their friends about the food and soon you’ll have flocks of birds to look at
ReplyDeleteboth of these are not the right size for you to capture if you had that thought! they are almost bigger than you are. I know every one is excited....
ReplyDeleteBeau said F should get a nature cam and put out there to get shots of who visits
ReplyDeleteEvery time I try and take a bird photo the birds are too quick for me, was Mr T staring at them?
ReplyDeleteNot staring exactly... more fixated, salivating, wiggling a little.....
