This weekend was the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch. I placed my camera trap on the bird feeders hoping to catch a wide variety of small birds. All I caught on it was this funny looking bird with a big fluffy tail.
The reason for the absence of the usual birds can be explained by the presence of the sparrowhawk. She caught another pigeon. At least it meant that I could add her to my bird count, along with wood pigeons, rock pigeons, collared doves, magpies, crow, sparrow, wren, robin and blackbirds.

Such a lovely fat squirrel 🙂 And no wonder, with all that bird feed! 🙂
Beautiful Sparrowhawk 🙂
I’m rather fond of both of them 🙂

Ooops! I meant to type “tree rats”!
