i had the peregrine dancing my birds about yesterday and now this morning i had the sparrowhawk scatter my birds everywhere.

she came over the top of them about 10ft above.

this is the 1st time that they have had contact to my knowledge so close together.

although i do have two hens missing in last 2 weeks.

The hen sparrow and peregrine hen should be getting ready to go down on eggs soon, so there will be respite from them. However the cocks will be trying their hardest to supply the hen with food, whilst she is on the nest. The cock very rarely can carry pigeons so tends to go for smaller birds to kill. Once the young are in the nest and the hen is operational, all hell lets loose again, and we need to be on our guard, not that we can do a lot as we know. :-/ :-/
