Like the title says but these bird all go off together come back together but ones missing this has happened twice this week birds only let out on an evening 5 oclock i only had 6 birds now down to four could it be hawks ? these birds having been ranging and have been seen flying with the father inlaws birds 8 mile away and found home ok

sounds like a bop is having a few meals , better to have a few more safety in numbers

When you are suffering losses that you suspect are down to hawks, alter your routine. Either hold them in for a couple of days, or change to morning exercise. IMO this stops a set feeding pattern setting in.

i will have to hold them in for a few days cos i work full time and have two young babies so time is short see how it goes

Sounds more like wires/roof aerial's to me if the others are returning together. jmo.
