Sparrowhawk Attack?
Mon 2008-04-07
Went for a walk round the Reading University lakes with Zoe this evening. Just as we were walking past Foxhill House there was a frantic fluttering in the bushes at ground level and then a dark grey bird flew up and away. On the ground there was a circular patch of grey feathers and a pigeon limping off to hide in the bushes. I reckon that we had disturbed a sparrowhawk in the process of trying to kill the pigeon.
