Still need some bigger perches mate
Dale with regards to your convo with rich....................i've seen similar behaviour similar situation hawk coming to a village back garden sitting pretty much out in the open on garden fence.. It occurs at a friend's house,so I can't be much more specific,I don't see it as unusual behaviour but as always would stand corrrected. Rich when i ran that out door poultry place we had sparrow hawks wheeling over head regularly,I don't think they ever touched the chucks,we had banties as small as d'uccle and dutch out there,so tiny (they are feisty aren't they I think it's small man syndrome). We had probs with corvids( some of the horror stories with crow taking large young ducks are horrowing) and the hawks would nail collard doves,but never a chuck. Leastways to the best of my knowledge!!
the old keepers rearing under banties knew a thing or two Rich i'd lay a bet the pheassies reared the old way weren't half as clueless as the birds one sees reared today. Banty's make amazing mums as you well know i've watched mum banty tell pheasie and partridge kids "hawk over" it's some sight
Haha my mate also had a turtle dove visiting last year what a coo huh . Sorry mate that was terrible......................it's been a hard week:banghead:.........true though I was so frustrated by that. But it's been nice to hear them again here,we haven't for a few years now
Dale all the luck,it's just being there at the right time mate,i'm having the same issue with woody,I sat down to write this and have a cuppa,the min me back is turned she's here.
