Hawk Attack

[cemetary]

Just after 12 i was visiting a loft of wan owe ma club members, just when he had the birds oot, they had a good fly, then went to the roof, just at that we were talking about the sparrowhawk, he said ave no had the doos oot from late Novemebr, because of it, then BANG, the hen came from nowhere, caught one, i jumped the wall and chased it aff the doo, then the hawk sat in the trees, just goes to show you there always about, and this was the biggest hen ave seen,   :) will speak to him the night at the club, to see what injurys the bird sustained.

Thats the problem with shutting the birds up when you do let them out they're not as fit as the hawk

[Fair Play]

Lost one in front of loft 2 weeks ago kept the birds in for a week but very few ventured out when opened the front up again can see how birds will loose form if attacked during racing season

Its because of the hawk we shut the birds up, if I let them out all winter I will be feeding the hawks all winter.

Even just before the season starts when the birds are super fit the hawk can take a bird from my loft every time it attacks ive wittnessed this first hand.

Yeh I did realise why you shut them in, mine are on open loft all year, hawk had 2 in a week early 09 and not lost one since but had two near misses this week thats why I say if mine had been shut up they would probably have been hits
