Poor thing,it wouldn't look hungry if you had got on this a while back
even worse you'll need bigger mossey perchy things now.
Sorry bro you know already how thrilled I am We've seen one with you before haven't we Dale ,,or an I imagining this,I'm sure you posted a sparrow hawk in your garden????
Mate serious head on............................to really make the most of this( your "garden bird feeding set up" not sparrow hawk) you need to give your little mates cover,they want it anyway But with big birdz about that might make a meal of them,to feel safe at your gaff,your feeding station,you need to plant or somehow make then cover. Dale we talk a bit,I know a little bit about where you live. I've not really been able to get my head around why more birds,of a wider variety are feeding with you already. But,if you have their primary predator lurking and little in the way of boltholes and safe places,this might just be the reason.????? I dunno Dale thinking out loud as usual.
Either that or you spends some weeks
trying for a sparrow hawk. mate. Dale I simply haven't the knowledge or time to have ever really pinned this species down. I can find them,but never really had those hours,to really get to grips,with how habitual they are. I have never been able to predict one Dale,and that is what we need bar food.
Dale there is this thing that it's ok to feed garden type birds,but somehow it becomes something different if it's a predatory bird................... I can't see it mate. Life is harsh for all our birds pretty much. There is no doubt in my mind that barnie kids are alive because of a few thawed out froozen mice. same with kingies with some aptly placed minnows and lord knows what else. All down to kindly souls just feedin da bridz
.
Dale no one has even shown me any science to back up claims that it can be wrong to treat a pred any different than an omni or herbivoore bird wise with food.. when times are lean(they are and have been),franklly they all need a hand.. If ya want to thaw a mouse it's good with me, a rat's actually better mate
you'll still need some bigger mossy perches though bro
all the luck kiddo
