I had a similar experience today but had no cricket bat handy.

The youngsters took fright and off they went.

I am one short and it was not the bird which the hawk struck.

had a very close escape friday morning , he singled out my blue badge and was gaining on her as they flew directly at the loft. at the last second she took a dive behind my feed shed and he missed her by inches.

Makes me laugh and the RSPB recon its only a 20% strike rate yet it knocks 3 of yours from the sky in one day, and if it wasn't for you would have had a kill or two, :-/

bummer mate, glad you didnt have any taken, my son had one of his grizzles taken by perigrine yesterday, bred by david!!! but it was back last night, blood covered, injuries not to deep, had a coat of germoline, and will be o.k.

 

The bit i cant believe about your attack is that you chased it!!!!  ;D ;D that would be enough to scary any living creature away the first time?  

[BLUERON]

I had a sparrow hawk attack in January. Chased the birds but didn't get any. The sparrow hawk went missing 5 minutes later. Never to be seen again. No idea what happened to it .

[Guest frank dooman]

had my 1st hit of the season to-day got it off the bird and tried to make sure it didnt get another hit but no luck the bird flew for 3 hrs but hes fine could be a good learning curve for him

[carlsberg]

had 5/6 attacks in the past week only 1 bird missing but had 1 bird wired escaping and had to chase another 1 off a bird on the road outside the house
