Today literally seconds after the cocks had landed after exercise bang sparrow hawk went rite in amongst them on loft roof, birds taking off in all directions after I eventually got the birds in I was one missing, my mate comes in saying there is a doo been hawked over the back of my neighbours fence , over I go to discover my blue cock 6669 dead , he was my 1st bird out of battle this year 500 miles, raging tae say the least, getting fed up of this nonsense now, im pretty sure it will be back but a welcoming party will be waiting next time john :emoticon-0179-headbang:
