weirbridge Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 would have to be some spar to take out a gull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bakes Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 would have to be some spar to take out a gull i do agree but have you seen the size of some of then hen sparrow hawks there's one that flys down the back of my loft most mornings people around were i live have found seagull,magpies,doves,wood pigeons with hole in the neck and breast all wripped off it could be a hen sparrow hawk that took the gull or it could be goshawk if it goshawk i hope not as an attack that close near pigeon loft isnt good as when they get a bead on your birds your knacked wont stop until they have wipped the lot out all the best.

billt Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Sparrowhawk kills its prey on the ground.. and eats the breast meat.. Its 100% a sparrowhawk.. could possibly be a cock sparrowhawk tho.. No far too big for a male, definately female s/hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billt Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 shut you idiot a musket wouldnt be able to take that at all and a female would find it very hard to hold that I'm impressed someone on here knows a male s/ hawk is a musket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
