Cheeky Sneaky Hawks

[fits]

I know it’s stating the obvious but watch out for hawks.

I let my pigeons out this morning and whilst getting them in a hawk attacked. I chased it off it flew about 10 foot up and struck again not even 6 foot away from me. Fortunately it did not injure any. So watch out they seem desperate at the moment.

Hi Susan,

             it just came from no where and while i was with them getting them in.

It's a big bird and in good condition but must be hungry.

cheeky sneaky and stupid. If it kills it will come back to finish it off, which can be a big mistake for the hawk!

i think i was very lucky this time the hawk was right amoust them they did take off and fly around for about 5 mins but they came straight back down and in they did'nt seem bothered.

I think they just thought it was another pigeon and what frightened them was me shouting at the hawk and trying to get it.

 

The hawks are getting very brave.

Got a surprise going home last night, around 7pm, in growing darkness , no other birds in sky, saw a sparrowhawk came across roof-tops flying against a strong wind. It had just come over a pouter loft location and was headed in direction of my my loft a couple of hundred yards away. Did not expect to see one flying in near dark, and no other birds in sky.
