Guest Davy Fleming Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Was going through Mount Ellen near Gartcosh this afternoon and seen a Sparrow Hawk dive down into the loft compound which belongs to Gordon Geddes so turned the car into the drive and seen the Hen sitting over a pigeon with it's wings spread right out so jumped out the car and ran over to get it when the hawk just lifted and went. The bird still didn't have a mark on it but was desperately trying to get under the loft so picked it up examined it and it was perfectly fine and put in a Sputnik. So Gordon if you read this the bird was a cheq hen ring number 51400.
cemetary Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Well done Dave, saved the birds like,
Guest Davy Fleming Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Dougie, I was really sick that I didn't get the hawk because if it was that hungry I could have given it a good feed myself and it would have been happy and content then. LOL

LOL I was like that the other day at another club members mate, the hen was like a buzzard, some size, and came frome nowhere, Maybe Gordon will give it a good feed/home when it comes back to him,

frank-123 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 once i told someone how to look after a percy and was threatend by a"pigeon fancier" to some he is a hero to me he is ex rspca and still a very active member on this forum
Roland Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Oh yes, more active and Seeing' and looking out for his' 'lot' than 98% of the pigeon fancier will, and that's for sure. So I would have an eye over my shoulder if it got hurt ... But as I would never do anything untowards, then Of course I don't mind him looking out for their interests ... Only right and fair eh :-/ ;D ;D ;D
